a detachment of Dassault engineers had closely observed these trials; from the Delta 2 test programme, Dassault obtained a great deal of experience and data on the performance and properties of delta wing aircraft.", "Specifically, Wood credits the Delta 2 to have served as confirmation of Dassault's theories and having supported the design and development of what would become the Mirage III.", "On 25 June 1954, the first prototype of the MD.550 Delta, without afterburning engines or rocket motor and with an unusually large vertical stabilizer, conducted its maiden flight.", "In this configuration, it was able to attain a maximum speed of Mach 1.15.", "Following initial flights, it received a redesign that involved the vertical stabilizer being reduced in size along with the installation of afterburners and a rocket motor; it was at this point that the aircraft was renamed as the \"Mirage I\".", "During late 1954, the prototype attained a recorded speed of Mach 1.3 in level flight without rocket assistance, as well as reaching Mach 1.6 when using the rocket motor.", "According to aviation author John F. Brindley, testing of the Mirage I and prototypes of the rival Trident and Durandal designs had demonstrated the limitations of the light fighter concept, namely limitations on both endurance and equipment/payload capacity.", "The small size of the Mirage I restricted its armament to a single air-to-air missile, and it was decided during flight trials that the aircraft was too small for the carriage of a useful armament.", "Following the completion of flying trials, the Mirage I prototype was eventually scrapped.", "Dassault was keen to produce a successor to the Mirage I prototype; at one point, the firm was considering the production of an enlarged version, known as the \"Mirage II\", which would have been furnished with a pair of Turbomeca Gabizo turbojet engines.", "However, the Mirage II ultimately remained unbuilt as it was bypassed for an even more ambitious design, being 30 per cent heavier than the original Mirage I, powered by the newly developed Snecma Atar afterburning turbojet engine, capable of generating up to 43.2 kN of thrust.", "The Atar was an axial-flow turbojet design, having been derived from the German Second World War-era BMW 003 engine.", "The new Atar-equipped fighter design received the name \"Mirage III\".", "There was also an even larger \"heavy fighter\" design drafted, referred to as the Mirage IV.", "A decisive factor had been interest from the French military, who had made its favour for the Mirage III proposal known to the company.", "The Mirage III incorporated various new design principles, such as the transonic area rule concept, where changes to an aircraft's cross-section were made as gradual as possible, resulting in the famous \"wasp waist\" configuration of many supersonic fighters.", "Similar to its Mirage I predecessor, the Mirage III had provision for a booster rocket engine.", "On 17 November 1956, the prototype Mirage III perform its first flight.", "During its 10th flight, it was recorded as having attained a speed of Mach 1.52 at one point.", "During the course of the flight test programme, the prototype was fitted with a pair of manually-operated intake half-cone shock diffusers, known as \"souris\" (\"mice\"), which could be repositioning more forwards as the airspeed was increased to achieve a reduction in inlet pressure losses.", "Reportedly, their addition enabled an increased speed of Mach 1.65 to be reached, while use of the supplemental SEPR 66 rocket (as fitted to the Mirage I) had allowed for a speed of Mach 1.8 to be reached during September 1957.", "The success of the Mirage III prototype resulted in an order for 10 pre-production \"Mirage IIIA\" fighters.", "Although the type had initially conceived of as an interceptor, the batch had been ordered with the intention of using them to develop the type for additional roles as well.", "The Mirage IIIA were almost 2 meters longer than the Mirage III prototype, had an enlarged wing of 17.3 per cent greater area, a chord reduced to 4.5 per cent, and an Atar 09B turbojet capable of generating afterburning thrust of up to 58.9 kN .", "The SEPR 841 rocket engine was also retained.", "The Mirage IIIA was also fitted with a Thomson-CSF-built Cyrano Ibis air intercept radar, operational-standard avionics, and a drag chute to shorten its landing roll.", "During May 1958, the first Mirage IIIA conducted its first flight.", "During October of that year, this aircraft achieved a top speed of Mach 2.2 during one of its test flights, thus becoming the first European aircraft to exceed Mach 2 in level flight.", "During December 1959, the tenth and final Mirage IIIA was rolled out; the last six pre-production aircraft were largely representative of the subsequent initial production standard.", "The test regime involved a wide variety of tasks, including the evaluation of the newer SEPR 841 rocket motor, various underwing drop tanks, and other major systems.", "One Mirage IIIA was powered by a Rolls-Royce Avon 67 engine capable of generating 71.1 kN of thrust, to serve as a test model for Australian evaluation, which was given the \"Mirage IIIO\" designation.", "This variant flew in February 1961, but the Avon powerplant was ultimately not adopted upon production aircraft.", "The first major production model, the \"Mirage IIIC\", first flew in October 1960.", "The IIIC was largely similar to the earlier IIIA, being less than a half meter longer and featuring a full operational fit.", "The Mirage IIIC was a single-seat interceptor, with an Atar 09B turbojet engine, featuring an eyelid type variable exhaust.", "The Mirage IIIC was armed with twin 30 mm DEFA cannon fitted in the belly with the gun ports under the air intakes.", "Early Mirage IIIC production had three stores pylons, one under the fuselage and one under each wing; another outboard pylon was soon added to each wing, for a total of five, excluding a sleek supersonic tank which also had bomb-carrying capacity.", "The outboard pylon was intended to carry an AIM-9B Sidewinder air-to-air missile, later replaced by the Matra R550 Magic and also was armed with the radar guided Matra R530 Missile on the center line pylon.", "A total of 95 Mirage IIICs were obtained by the French Air Force (\"Armée de l'Air\", AdA), with initial operational deliveries in July 1961.", "The Mirage IIIC remained in service with the AdA until 1988.", "The \"Armée de l'Air\" also placed an order for a two-seat \"Mirage IIIB\" operational trainer.", "Performing its first flight on 21 October 1959, it was developed in parallel with the Mirage IIIC.", "The fuselage was stretched about a meter (3 ft 3.5 in), while both cannon were removed to accommodate the second seat.", "The IIIB lacked radar and provision for the SEPR rocket was also deleted, although it could carry external stores if desired.", "The AdA ordered 63 Mirage IIIBs (including the prototype), including five \"Mirage IIIB-1\" trials aircraft, ten \"Mirage IIIB-2(RV)\" inflight refueling trainers with dummy nose probes, used for training Mirage IVA bomber pilots, and 20 \"Mirage IIIBE\"s, with the engine and some other features of the multi-role Mirage IIIE.", "One Mirage IIIB was fitted with a fly-by-wire flight control system in the mid-1970s and redesignated \"Mirage IIIB-SV\" (\"Stabilité Variable\"), it was used as a testbed for the system in the later Mirage 2000.", "While the initial Mirage IIIC model was heading towards quantity production, Dassault turned its attention towards the development of a multirole/strike variant of the aircraft.", "Efforts in this direction would eventually materialized in the form of the single-seat \"Mirage IIIE\"; a two-seat trainer variant of the aircraft was also developed, designated as the \"Mirage IIID\".", "On 5 April 1961, the first of a batch of three prototypes performed its first flight.", "The Mirage IIIE considerably differed from the earlier Mirage IIIC interceptor.", "In terms of its airframe, the aircraft possessed a 300 mm forward fuselage extension, which had been made to increase the size of the avionics bay, located directly behind the cockpit.", "The stretch had also enabled its fuel capacity to be expanded, which had been deemed necessary after several pilots had criticized the Mirage IIIC for having been quite limited in terms of its range.", "Many Mirage IIIEs were fitted with a British-built Marconi continuous-wave Doppler navigation radar radome on the bottom of the fuselage, underneath the cockpit; in contrast, none of the Mirage IIICs were provided with this apparatus.", "A similar inconsistent variation was the presence or absence of a high frequency (HF) antenna fitted as a forward extension to the vertical tailplane; on some Mirages, the leading edge of the tailplane was a straight line, while on those with the HF antenna the leading edge had a sloping extension forward.", "The extension appears to have been generally standard on production Mirage IIIAs and Mirage IIICs, but only appeared in some of the Mirage IIIE's export versions.", "The Mirage IIIE featured Thomson-CSF Cyrano II dual mode air / ground radar; a radar warning receiver (RWR) system with the antennas mounted in the vertical tailplane; and an Atar 09C engine, the latter being equipped with a petal-style variable exhaust.", "On 14 January 1964, the first production Mirage IIIE was delivered to the AdA, over time, 192 aircraft were eventually delivered to that service.", "By 1971, this variant had become the most widely exported version of the aircraft.", "A number of dedicated reconnaissance variants of the Mirage III were developed and produced, grouped under the general designation of \"Mirage IIIR\".", "These aircraft possessed a Mirage IIIE airframe but were furnished with avionics from the Mirage IIIC variant, along with a purpose-developed camera nose, which internally accommodated up to five OMERA cameras.", "On this variant, the radar system was excluded due to a lack of available space in the nose, however, the aircraft retained the twin DEFA cannon and all compatibility with its external stores.", "An improved variant, designated as the \"Mirage IIIRD\", was also developed later on; it was essentially a Mirage IIIR outfitted with an extra panoramic camera at the most forward nose position, along with the adoption of the Doppler radar and other avionics from the Mirage IIIE.", "In response to interest expressed by the AdA in a reconnaissance model of the Mirage design, Dassault proceeded with the development of a pair of prototypes.", "On 31 October 1961, the first of these prototypes conducted its maiden flight; on 1 February 1963, it was followed by the first production-standard aircraft of the model.", "The AdA opted to obtain a total of 50 production Mirage IIIRs; the service later ordered a further 20 Mirage IIIRDs as well.", "Several export customers, most notably Switzerland, also chose to procure reconnaissance Mirages.", "The Mirage IIIR preceded the Mirage IIIE in operational introduction.", "The largest export customers for Mirage IIICs built in France were Israel, their principal variant being the \"Mirage IIICJ\", and South Africa, the bulk of their fleet being the \"Mirage IIICZ\".", "Some export customers obtained the Mirage IIIB, with designations only changed to provide a country code, such as: \"Mirage IIIDA\" for Argentina, \"Mirage IIIDBR\" and \"Mirage IIIDBR-2\" for Brazil, \"Mirage IIIBJ\" for Israel, \"Mirage IIIDL\" for Lebanon, \"Mirage IIIDP\" for Pakistan, \"Mirage IIIBZ\" and \"Mirage IIIDZ\" and \"Mirage IIID2Z\" for South Africa, \"Mirage IIIDE\" for Spain and \"Mirage IIIDV\" for Venezuela.", "After the outstanding Israeli success with the Mirage IIIC, scoring kills against Syrian Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17s and MiG-21 aircraft and then achieving a formidable victory against Egypt, Jordan, and Syria in the Six-Day War of June 1967, the Mirage III's reputation was greatly enhanced.", "The \"combat-proven\" image and low cost made it a popular export success.", "According to Brindley, a key element of the Mirage III's export success was the extensive support given to Dassault by the French government; he has claimed that the state would often commence negotiations without involving or informing Dassault at all until a later stage.", "A good number of Mirage IIIEs were built for export as well, being purchased in small numbers by Argentina as the \"Mirage IIIEA\", Brazil as the \"Mirage IIIEBR\" and \"Mirage IIIEBR-2\", Lebanon as the \"Mirage IIIEL\", Pakistan as the \"Mirage IIIEP\", South Africa as the \"Mirage IIIEZ\", Spain as the \"Mirage IIIEE\", and Venezuela as the \"Mirage IIIEV\", with a list of subvariant designations, with minor variations in equipment fit.", "Dassault believed the customer was always right, and was happy to accommodate changes in equipment fit as customer needs and budget required.", "Pakistani \"Mirage 5PA3\", for example, were fitted with Thomson-CSF Agave radar with capability of guiding the Exocet anti-ship missile.", "Some customers obtained the two-seat Mirage IIIBE under the general designation \"Mirage IIID\", though the trainers were generally similar to the Mirage IIIBE except for minor changes in equipment fit.", "In some cases they were identical, since two surplus AdA Mirage IIIBEs were sold to Brazil under the designation \"Mirage IIIBBR\", and three were similarly sold to Egypt under the designation \"Mirage 5SDD\".", "New-build exports of this type included aircraft sold to Abu Dhabi, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, Gabon, Libya, Pakistan, Peru, Spain, Venezuela, and Zaire.", "During the 1960s, the Soviet Union was alleged to have been engaged in attempts at conducting industrial espionage that targeted Dassault and specifically the Mirage III.", "In one widely reported incident, a pilot of the Lebanese Air Force was approached by Soviet agents, who offered him a bribe to fly one of the nation's 14 Mirage IIIs directly to Soviet territory; Lebanese counter-intelligence was notified of the attempt by the pilot.", "Diplomatically, France was protective of the fighter, often forbidding nations from re-exporting their Mirage IIIs to third parties without their consent under the threat of a prospective embargo.", "Export versions of the Mirage IIIR were built for Pakistan as the \"Mirage IIIRP\" and South Africa as the \"Mirage IIIRZ\", and \"Mirage IIIR2Z\" with an Atar 9K-50 jet engine.", "Export versions of the IIIR recce aircraft were purchased by Abu Dhabi, Belgium, Colombia, Egypt, Libya, Pakistan, and South Africa.", "Some export Mirage IIIRDs were fitted with British Vinten cameras, not OMERA cameras.", "Most of the Belgian aircraft were built locally.", "Initial Israeli operations were conducted in a close cooperative relationship with both Dassault and France itself, the former sharing large amounts of operational data and experience with the other parties.", "However, Israel was forced into updating its own Mirages when France imposed an arms embargo on the region after the 1967 Six-Day War.", "For many years, official relations did not exist between France and Israel, however, spare components remained available.", "The result of these troubles was the development of Israel Aircraft Industries' Nesher fighter, which was based on the Mirage 5.", "Nevertheless, Mirage IIIB upgrades up to and including a full Kfir-type conversion have also been made available to third parties by IAI.", "South Africa was amongst the earliest export customers for the Mirage III, having initially ordered a batch of 15 Mirage IIIC for low-level ground attack operations, for which they were armed with the Nord Aviation AS-20, along with three Mirage IIIBZ two-seater trainers.", "Further aircraft were ordered, including a batch of 16 Mirage IIIEs, three Mirage IIID two-seaters and four Mirage IIIR photo-reconnaissance aircraft.", "During the early 1970s, South Africa reportedly held negotiations with Dassault with the aim of securing a licence to produce either the Mirage III, the Mirage 5 and the Mirage F-1.", "However, much like Israel, South Africa was similarly isolated by a French arms embargo after the passage of United Nations Security Council Resolution 418 in November 1977.", "The South African Air Force launched an ambitious rebuild programme for its Mirage III fleet, soliciting Israeli technical assistance to convert existing airframes into the Atlas Cheetah.", "Fixed foreplanes distinguish the Cheetah from its Mirage predecessor, and an extended nose, probably inspired by the IAI Kfir, houses a modified electronics suite, including radar.", "Built in single-seat, two-seat interceptor, and two-seat combat trainer versions, the Atlas Cheetah entered service in 1987 during the South African Border War.", "Armament consists of Denel Kukri or Darter heat-seeking air-to-air missiles, the targeting of which was aided by a pilot's helmet mounted sight.", "During 1967, Pakistan opted to purchase an initial batch of 18 Mirage IIIEPs, 3 Mirage IIIDPs and 3 Mirage IIIRPs from France.", "Over the course of time, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) inducted large numbers of new and second hand Mirages IIIs and Mirage 5s spanning multiple variants.", "During 1977, an additional 10 new Mirage IIIRPs were delivered.", "The Mirage III remained a formidable weapon in the hands of the Pakistan Air Force.", "Perhaps the most notable PAF unit equipped with the type has been No. 5 Squadron, which was fully operational by the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.", "During the conflict, while flying out from bases in Sargodha and Mianwali, the Mirage III was extensively used to conduct ground attacks against Indian military units and targets of interest.", "4 Mirage IIIs were lost by the PAF.", "In 1991, because French production of the Mirage III and most spare parts had ceased, Pakistan acquired 50 Australian-built Mirages, which had been retired by the Royal Australian Air Force in 1988: 42 examples of the Mirage IIIO and eight twin-seat IIID.", "A further five incomplete aircraft were also obtained from the RAAF for cannibalized spare parts.", "Eight of the ex-RAAF Mirages entered service with the PAF immediately, while another 33 were upgraded under a PAF project known as ROSE I (\"Retrofit of Strike Element\"), with new equipment including: head-up display (HUD), HOTAS controls, multi-function display (MFD), radar altimeter, nav/attack system (manufactured by SAGEM), inertial navigation and GPS systems, radar warning receiver (RWR), an electronic countermeasures (ECM) suite, decoy flares and chaff dispenser.", "In 1999,

in 2003 13 Mirage IIIEEs were obtained from the Spanish Air Force in the form of 13 Mirage IIIEEs for cannibalized spare parts.", "From 2011, the PAF Mirage fleet was modified to carry Hatf-VIII (Ra'ad) cruise missiles and to accommodate aerial refueling probes of South African origin (presumably similar to those that built into the Atlas Cheetah).", "Subsequently, these aircraft have been modified to accept additional equipment and munitions, such as Chinese PL-12 air-to-air missiles.", "Variants of the Mirage IIIE were built under license in both Australia (as the IIIO) by GAF, and Switzerland (as the IIIS) by F+W Emmen.", "Australia first showed an official interest in replacing its CAC Sabre with the Mirage III during 1960, and initially considered a variant powered by a licence-built variant of the Rolls-Royce Avon turbojet (used by the CAC Sabre).", "While an experimental Avon-powered Mirage III was built as a prototype and flown in trials, it did not result in use of the Avon by a production variant.", "The Australian government decided that the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) would receive a variant based on the Mirage IIIE and powered by the SNECMA Atar engine, built under license by Government Aircraft Factories (GAF) at Fishermans Bend, Melbourne.", "Known as the \"Mirage IIIO\" or GAF Mirage, the Australian variant differed from the Mirage IIIE mainly in its avionics.", "The other major Australian aircraft manufacturer at the time, the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC), also based in Melbourne, was also involved in the project, producing the Atar engine under licence.", "Initially, Dassault provided a pair of pattern aircraft, the first of these flying during March 1963, which were transported to Australia and used to aid technicians at GAF in establishing their own assembly line for the type.", "GAF produced three variants: the \"Mirage IIIO(F)\", which was an interceptor, the Mirage \"IIIO(A)\", a surface attack aircraft and the twin seat \"Mirage IIIO(D)\", a fighter lead-in trainer.", "GAF completed 48 Mirage IIIO(F), 50 Mirage IIIO(A) and 16 Mirage IIIO(D) aircraft.", "Between 1967 and 1979, all the surviving Mirage IIIO(F) aircraft were converted to the Mirage IIIO(A) standard, which reconfigured them from the interceptor role to perform ground attack and aerial reconnaissance missions instead.", "During 1988, the Mirage III was finally withdrawn from RAAF service, after which 50 of the surviving fighters were exported to Pakistan in 1990.", "Several examples are preserved in museums around Australia; at least one of these is reportedly under restoration to an airworthy condition.", "During 1961, Switzerland purchased a single Mirage IIIC from France for use as a development aircraft to support the nation's intentions to domestically produce 100 Mirage III fighters for the Swiss Air Force.", "Accordingly, Mirages were manufactured in Switzerland by F+W Emmen (today RUAG, the federal government aircraft factory in Emmen) under the Mirage IIIS designation.", "The Mirage IIIS was intended to perform the attack, interception, and reconnaissance missions in a single model.", "However, the venture suffered considerable cost overruns, mainly due to Swiss-mandated customisations and features, this was compounded by a lack of financial oversight, controversy over the manufacturing cost ultimately cumulated in the so-called \"Mirage affair\" and the resignation of several officials.", "It became clear that a single model was not capable of the performance desires; thus only 36 Mirage IIIS interceptors and 18 Mirage IIIRS reconnaissance aircraft were eventually produced by F+W Emmen.", "The Mirage IIIS was with considerably strengthened wings, airframe, and undercarriage as the Swiss Air Force had required robustness comparable to that of carrier-based planes.", "The reinforced airframes enabled aircraft to be moved by lifting them with a crane (hence the airframes also being fitted with four lifting points, retractable nosecones and lengthened nosewheel legs), as the aircraft caverns in the mountains that Swiss Air Force uses as bunkers offer very little space to maneuver parked aircraft.", "Another benefit of the strengthened frames was the enabling of JATO-assisted takeoffs, giving the type a short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability.", "Other major differences were present on the Swiss-built interceptors.", "It was furnished with new American-sourced avionics along with a different cockpit design, including a Hughes Aircraft Company-built TARAN-18 radar system and could armed with the AIM-4 Falcon air-to-air missile (Swiss designation of the SAAB Licence built Robot 27 (Rb27), which is similar to the Hughes AIM-26 \"Falcon\").", "Radar warning receivers (RWR) were installed upon on both wingtips and on the back of the rudder.", "In addition, the Mirage IIIS had the wiring to carry a Swiss-built or French-built nuclear bomb.", "In the event, the programme to produce a Swiss nuclear bomb was stopped in the pre-production stage and Switzerland chose not to purchase such weapons from France either.", "The Mirage IIIRS could also carry a centerline pod for conducting photo reconnaissance missions, as well as an integral fuel tank underneath the aft belly; this tank could carry a smaller fuel load, but also allowed for a rear-facing film camera to also be added.", "When fitted with the reconnaissance pod, supersonic performance was severely diminished.", "The Mirage IIIS could be optionally fitted with a SEPR (Société d'Etudes pour la Propulsion par Réaction) 841 rocket engine with its 300 l nitric acid oxidiser tank.", "It was installed under the rear of the aircraft's belly upon a removable adaptor; in service, this was often removed to accommodate a similar-shaped integral fuel tank underneath the aft belly instead.", "When installed, the SEPR rocket enabled the Mirage IIIS to easily attain an altitude of 24,000 m as well as providing an additional thrust of 1500 kp; the rocket motor could be switched off and restarted a minimum of three times during a single flight, a maximum use of at least 80 seconds was possible.", "In case of an emergency, it was possible to jettison the rocket engine during low speed flight.", "The rocket fuel (TG-02) was very hazardous and highly toxic, requiring special buildings for maintenance to be built in Buochs and Payerne and personnel involved in its handling to wear special protective suits; accordingly, the rocket motor was not used often.", "During 1967, the Mirage IIIS entered operational service with the Swiss Air Force; the Mirage IIIRS followed two years later.", "After an upgrade programme started in 1988, canards designed and produced by RUAG Aerospace were fitted to the type, along with a Martin-Baker-built ejection-seat.", "Defensive measures included a TRACOR AN/ALE-40 chaff/flare dispenser positioned at the back under the end of the engine, first fitted following upgrades in 1988.", "During 1999, Switzerland phased out the last of its Mirage IIIS fleet; the remaining Mirage IIIRS, BS and DS variants were taken out of service during 2003.", "On 29 November 1966, an Israeli Air Force Dassault Mirage III shot down two Egyptian MiG-19s which were trying to intercept an Israeli reconnaissance Piper J-3 Cub in Israeli airspace.", "The first MiG was destroyed with a R.530 radar guided missile fired from less than a mile away, marking the first aerial kill for the French made missile.", "The second MiG-19 was dispatched with cannon fire.", "During the Six-Day War, fought between 5 and 10 June 1967, Israel chose to deploy its Mirage III fleet offensively over the demilitarized zone located on the Israeli side of the border with Syria.", "A small detachment of 12 Mirages (comprising 4 permanently in the air and 8 at a high state of readiness on the ground) were assigned to defend the skies of Israel against attacks by hostile bombers, virtually all other Mirages were equipped with bombs and deployed on bombing raids against Arab air bases.", "Reportedly, the Mirage's performance as a bomber was modest at best, perhaps due to its limited payload capacity.", "During the first day of combat, a total of 6 MiG fighters were claimed to have been shot down by the Mirages.", "During the following days, Israeli Mirages typically performed as fighters; out of a claimed total of 58 Arab aircraft shot down in air combat during the conflict, 48 were accounted for by Mirage pilots.", "During the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the Mirage fleet was solely engaged in air-to-air operations.", "ACIG.org claims that at least 26 Mirages and Neshers were lost in air-to-air combat during the war.", "Contrary to these claims, formal Israeli sources claim that only five Israeli Air Force aircraft were shot down in air-to-air dogfights.", "In comparison, 106 Syrian and Egyptian aircraft were claimed shot down by Israeli Mirage IIICJ planes, and another 140 aircraft were claimed by the Nesher derivative.", "Israeli Air Force pilot Giora Epstein, \"ace of aces\" of modern, supersonic fighter jets, achieved all of his victories flying either the Mirage IIICJ or the IAI Nesher (An Israeli derivative of the Mirage 5, which were in turn developed from the Mirage III).", "During the South African Border War, the South African Air Force operated a force of 16 Mirage IIICZ interceptors, 17 Mirage IIIEZ multirole fighter-bombers, and 4 Mirage IIIRZ reconnaissance fighters, which were typically flown from bases in South-West Africa.", "Despite being recognised as an exceptional dogfighter, the Mirage III was often criticised for lacking the range to make it effective over long distances, such as during strike operations against People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN) insurgents based in neighbouring Angola.", "South African pilots also found the high-nosed, delta-winged Mirage III relatively difficult to land on the rudimentary airstrips near the operational area.", "Over time, the Mirage IIIs were eventually assigned to 2 Squadron, SAAF, and restricted to the secondary roles of daytime interception, training exercises, and photographic reconnaissance missions following the adoption of the newer Mirage F1.", "The mediocre performance of the fighter's Cyrano II radar effectively precluded the type from conducting nighttime operations, as well as during challenging weather conditions.", "By the late 1980s, the Mirage IIICZ was considered so obsolete that it was utilised only for base security.", "Nevertheless, the Mirage IIIRZ continued to be deployed for photo reconnaissance missions over Angolan targets, as the SAAF had only one other aircraft equipped for this role, the even more antiquated English Electric Canberra.", "During reconnaissance missions, SAAF Mirage IIIRZs would often fly at extremely low altitudes, sometimes as low as fifty feet (15 metres); briefly prior to reaching their intended targets, the aircraft would enter a rapid climb from which photographs would be taken before turning away.", "During the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale, Mirage IIIRZ pilots carried out mock sorties over enemy positions in Xangongo and Humbe in an attempt to provoke a response from Cuban or Angolan MiG-21s and MiG-23s, which would then be engaged by accompanying SAAF Mirage F1AZs.", "The Argentine Air Force deployed their Mirage IIIEA fleet during the 1982 Falklands War.", "Their ability to function as long-range strike aircraft was dramatically hindered by the type's lack of any aerial refueling capability; even when furnished with a pair of 2,000 litre (550 gallon) drop tanks to carry extra fuel, the Mirages (and Israeli-built Daggers) would be forced to fly up to the absolute limit of their range in order to even reach the British fleet from the mainland.", "Normally, the fighters would be sent to engage patrolling British Harrier jets and to provide air cover to a Douglas A-4 Skyhawk strike force; however, they would had no more than five minutes over the combat area at most before having to embark upon the return flight back to their air fields.", "Usually, Argentine Mirages were flown with an armament consisting of one Matra R530 or a pair of Magic 1 AAMs.", "They only entered direct combat once, resulting in one of the Mirages being shot down by an AIM-9L Sidewinder fired by a Harrier and another that was destroyed by friendly fire after attempting to land upon the runway at Port Stanley when nearly out of fuel.", "The fighters were frequently deployed to conduct diversion flights, flying at a very high altitude to force a response from the patrolling British Harriers to improve the chances of survival and success of the attack force.", "Additionally, a number of Mirages were also kept on a high state of alert against possible Avro Vulcan raids upon targets within the Argentine mainland, as well as to serve as a deterrence against aggressive flights by neighbouring Chile conducted upon Argentina's western border.", "A total of 1,422 Mirage III/5/50 aircraft of all types were built by Dassault.", "The next major variant, the \"Mirage 5\", grew out of a request to Dassault from the Israeli Air Force.", "The first Mirage 5 flew on 19 May 1967.", "It looked much like the Mirage III, except it had a long slender nose that extended the aircraft's length by about half a meter.", "The Mirage 5 itself led directly to the Israeli \"Nesher\", either through a Mossad (Israeli intelligence) intelligence operation or through covert cooperation with AdA, depending upon which story is accepted.", "(See details in the \"Nesher\" article).", "In either case, the design gave rise to the \"Kfir\", which can be considered a direct descendant of the \"Mirage III\".", "In 1968, Dassault, in cooperation with the Swiss, began work on a Mirage update known as the \"Milan\" (\"Kite\").", "The main feature of the Milan was a pair of pop out foreplanes in the nose, which were referred to as \"moustaches\".", "The moustaches were intended to provide better take-off performance and low-speed control for the attack role.", "The three initial prototypes were converted from existing Mirage fighters; one of these prototypes was nicknamed \"Asterix\", after the internationally popular French cartoon character, a tough little Gallic warrior with a huge moustache.", "A fully equipped prototype rebuilt from a \"Mirage IIIR\" flew in May 1970, and was powered by the uprated 70.6 kN afterburning thrust SNECMA Atar 09K-50 engine, following the evaluation of an earlier model of this new series on the one-off \"Mirage IIIC2\".", "The Milan also had updated avionics, including a laser designator and rangefinder in the nose.", "A second fully equipped prototype was produced for Swiss evaluation as the \"Milan S\".", "The canards did provide significant handling benefits, but they had drawbacks.", "They blocked the pilot's forward view to an extent, and set up turbulence in the engine intakes.", "The Milan concept was abandoned in 1972,

the \"Mirage 3NG\" (\"Nouvelle Génération\", new generation).", "Like the Milan and Mirage 50, the 3NG was powered by the Atar 9K-50 engine.", "The prototype, a conversion of a Mirage IIIR, flew in December 1982.", "The Mirage 3NG had a modified delta wing with leading-edge root extensions, plus a pair of fixed canards fitted above and behind the air intakes.", "The canards provided a degree of turbulent airflow over the wing to make the aircraft more unstable and so more maneuverable.", "The aircraft's avionics were completely modernized, making use of the parallel development effort underway for the next-generation Mirage 2000 fighter.", "Chiefly amongst these changes, the Mirage 3NG used a fly-by-wire system to allow control over the aircraft's instabilities, and featured an advanced nav/attack system; new multimode radar; and a laser rangefinder system.", "The uprated engine and aerodynamics gave the Mirage 3NG impressive performance.", "Ultimately, the type never went into production, but to an extent the Mirage 3NG was a demonstrator for various technologies that could be and were featured in upgrades to existing Mirage IIIs and Mirage Vs. After 1989, enhancements derived from the Mirage 3NG were incorporated into Brazilian Mirage IIIEs, as well as into four ex-\"Armée de l'Air\" Mirage IIIEs that were transferred to Brazil in 1988.", "In 1989, Dassault offered a similar upgrade refit of ex-AdA Mirage IIIEs under the designation \"Mirage IIIEX\", featuring canards, a fixed in-flight refueling probe, a longer nose, new avionics, and other refinements.", "One of the offshoots of the Mirage III/5/50 fighter family tree was the \"Mirage IIIV\" vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fighter.", "(\"IIIV\" is read \"three-vee,\" not \"three-five\").", "This aircraft featured eight small vertical lift jets straddling the main engine.", "The Mirage IIIV was built in response to a mid-1960s NATO specification for a VTOL strike fighter.", "Mirage IIIV carries eight RB.162-31 lift engines(generating 5,400 lb thrust each), long-stroke landing gears, and additional covers to reduce impact of the lift engine exhausts.", "Main engine a SNECMA TF-104 turbojet.", "Project ROSE (Retrofit Of Strike Element) was an upgrade programme launched by the Pakistan Air Force to upgrade old Dassault Mirage III and Mirage 5 aircraft with modern avionics.", "In the early 1990s, the PAF procured 50 ex-Australian Mirage III fighters, 33 of which were selected after an inspection to undergo upgrades.", "In the first phases of Project ROSE, the ex-Australian Mirage III fighters were fitted with new defensive systems and cockpits, which included new HUDs, MFDs, RWRs, HOTAS controls, radar altimeters and navigation/attack systems.", "They were also fitted with the FIAR Grifo M3 multi-mode radar and designated \"ROSE I\".", "Around 34 Mirage 5 attack fighters also underwent upgrades designated \"ROSE II\" and \"ROSE III\" before Project ROSE was completed.", "The Mirage III/5 ROSE fighters are expected to remain in service with the PAF until replacement in the mid-2010s.", "\"Data from\" Encyclopedia of World Military AircraftGeneral characteristics * Crew: 1 * Aspect ratio: Performance * Maximum speed: Mach 2.2 * Endurance: * g limits: * Roll rate: Armament OR Avionics", "Aircraft of comparable role, configuration and era", "\"The initial version of this article was based on a public domain article from . \"" ] } }

"The service is directed to protect British parliamentary democracy and economic interests, and counter terrorism and espionage within the UK.", "Within the civil service community the service is colloquially known as \"Box 500\" (after its official wartime address of PO Box 500; its current address is PO Box 3255, London SW1P 1AE).", "The service has had a national headquarters at Thames House on Millbank in London since 1995, drawing together personnel from a number of locations into a single HQ facility: Thames House also houses the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre, a subordinate organisation to the Security Service; prior to March 2013, Thames House additionally housed the Northern Ireland Office (NIO).", "The service has offices across the United Kingdom including an HQ in Northern Ireland.", "Details of the northern operations centre in Greater Manchester were revealed by the firm who built it.", "The Security Service comes under the authority of the Home Secretary within the Cabinet.", "The service is headed by a Director General at the grade of a Permanent Secretary of the British Civil Service who is directly supported by an internal security organisation, secretariat, legal advisory branch and information services branch.", "The Deputy Director General is responsible for the operational activity of the service, being responsible for four branches; international counter-terrorism, National Security Advice Centre (counter proliferation and counter espionage), Irish and domestic counter-terrorism and technical and surveillance operations.", "The service is directed by the Joint Intelligence Committee for intelligence operational priorities.", "It liaises with SIS, GCHQ, DIS, and a number of other bodies within the British government and industrial base.", "It is overseen by the Intelligence and Security Committee of Members of Parliament, who are directly appointed by the Prime Minister, by the Interception of Communications Commissioner, and by the Intelligence Services Commissioner.", "Judicial oversight of the service's conduct is exercised by the Investigatory Powers Tribunal.", "Operations of the service are required to be proportionate and compliant with British legislation including the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, the Data Protection Act 2018, and various other items of legislation.", "Information held by the service is exempt from disclosure under section 23 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.", "All employees of the service are bound by the Official Secrets Act.", "In certain circumstances, employees can be authorised to carry out activity which would otherwise be criminal within the UK.", "The current Director General is Andrew Parker, who succeeded Jonathan Evans on 22 April 2013.", "The service marked its centenary in 2009 by publishing an official history titled \"The Defence of the Realm: The Authorized History of MI5\" and written by Christopher Andrew, Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at Cambridge University.", "The Security Service is derived from the Secret Service Bureau, founded in 1909 and concentrating originally on the activities of the Imperial German government as a joint initiative of the Admiralty and the War Office.", "The Bureau was split into naval and army sections which, over time, specialised in foreign target espionage and internal counter-espionage activities respectively.", "This specialisation was a result of the Admiralty intelligence requirements related to the maritime strength of the Imperial German Navy.", "This specialisation was formalised prior to 1914 and the beginning of World War I, with the two sections undergoing a number of administrative changes and the home section becoming Directorate of Military Intelligence Section 5 (MI5), the name by which it is still known in popular culture.", "The founding head of the Army section was Vernon Kell of the South Staffordshire Regiment, who remained in that role until the early part of the Second World War.", "Its role was originally quite restricted; existing purely to ensure national security through counter-espionage.", "With a small staff and working in conjunction with the Special Branch of the Metropolitan Police, the service was responsible for overall direction and the identification of foreign agents, whilst Special Branch provided the manpower for the investigation of their affairs, arrest and interrogation.", "On the day after the declaration of World War I, the Home Secretary, Reginald McKenna, announced that \"within the last twenty-four hours no fewer than twenty-one spies, or suspected spies, have been arrested in various places all over the country, chiefly in important military or naval centres, some of them long known to the authorities to be spies\", a reference to arrests directed by the service.", "These arrests have provoked recent historical controversy.", "According to the official history of MI5, the actual number of agents identified was 22 and Kell had started sending out letters to local police forces on 29 July giving them advance warning of arrests to be made as soon as war was declared.", "Portsmouth Constabulary jumped the gun and arrested one on 3 August, and not all of the 22 were in custody by the time that McKenna made his speech, but the official history regards the incident as a devastating blow to Imperial Germany which deprived them of their entire spy ring, and specifically upset the Kaiser.", "This view has been challenged by Nicholas Hiley who has asserted that it is a complete fabrication.", "In 2006 his article \"Entering the Lists\" was published in the journal \"Intelligence and National Security\" outlining the products of his research into recently opened files.", "Hiley was sent an advance copy of the official history and objected to the retelling of the story.", "He later wrote another article, \"Re-entering the Lists\", which asserted that the list of those arrested published in the official history was concocted from later case histories.", "MI5 was consistently successful throughout the rest of the 1910s and 1920s in its core counter-espionage role.", "Throughout World War I, Germany continued trying to infiltrate Britain but MI5 was able to identify most, if not all, of the agents dispatched.", "MI5 used a method that depended on strict control of entry and exit to the country and, crucially, large-scale inspection of mail.", "In post-war years, attention turned to attempts by the Soviet Union and the Comintern to surreptitiously support revolutionary activities within Britain.", "MI5's expertise, combined with the early incompetence of the Soviets, meant the bureau was successful once more in correctly identifying and closely monitoring these activities.", "In the meantime, MI5's role had been substantially enlarged.", "Due to the spy hysteria, MI5 had been formed with far more resources than it actually needed to track down German spies.", "As is common within governmental bureaucracies, this caused the service to expand its role, to use its spare resources.", "MI5 acquired many additional responsibilities during the war.", "Most significantly, its strict counter-espionage role blurred considerably.", "It became a much more political role, involving the surveillance not merely of foreign agents but also of pacifist and anti-conscription organisations, and of organised labour.", "This was justified through the common belief that foreign influence was at the root of these organisations.", "Thus, by the end of the World War I, MI5 was a fully-fledged investigating force (although it never had powers of arrest), in addition to being a counter-espionage agency.", "The expansion of this role continued after a brief post-war power struggle with the head of the Special Branch, Sir Basil Thomson.", "After World War I, Kell's department was considered unnecessary by budget-conscious politicians.", "In 1919, MI5's budget was slashed from £100,000 and over 800 officers to just £35,000 and 12 officers.", "At the same time, Sir Basil Thomson of Special Branch was appointed Director of Home Intelligence, in supreme command of all domestic counter-insurgency and counter-intelligence investigations.", "Consequently, as official MI5 historian Christopher Andrew has noted in his official history \"Defence of the Realm\" (2010), MI5 had no clearly defined role in the Anglo-Irish War.", "To further worsen the situation, several of Kell's officers defected to Thomson's new Agency, the Home Intelligence Directorate.", "MI5 therefore undertook no tangible intelligence operations of consequence during the Irish War of Independence.", "MI5 did undertake the training of British Army Case Officers from the Department of Military Intelligence (DMI) for the Army's so-called \"Silent Section\" otherwise known as M04(x).", "Quickly trained by MI5 veterans at Hounslow Barracks, outside London, these freshly minted M04(x) Army case officers were deployed to Dublin beginning in the Spring of 1919.", "Over time, 175 officers were trained and dispatched to Ireland.", "In Ireland, they came under the command of General Cecil Romer and his Deputy, Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Searle Hill-Dillon.", "In April 1919, Colonel Walter Wilson of DMI arrived in Dublin to take over the day-to-day management of these 175 Army intelligence officers, and the unit was designated as the \"Dublin District Special Branch\" (DMI/MO4(x)/DDSB) because it operated exclusively within the confines of the Army's Dublin Military District.", "Royal Marine Colonel Hugh Montgomery of the Department of Naval Intelligence, was also seconded to Romer's intelligence staff at this time.", "British Army after-action reports and contemporary accounts indicate that M04(x)/DDSB was considered a highly amateurish outfit.", "Serious cover constraints, coupled with alcohol abuse and social fraternization with local prostitutes would prove to be the downfall of several of these amateur sleuths.", "Despite these failings, it was not MI5 but one of Basil Thomson's agents, John Charles Byrnes, a double agent within the IRA, who identified Michael Collins and came close to arranging his capture.", "Byrnes was discovered as a British spy and executed by the IRA in March 1920.", "The intelligence staff of Michael Collins Irish Republican Army penetrated the unit.", "Using DMP detectives Ned Broy and David Nelligan, Michael Collins was able to learn the names and lodgings of the M04(x) agents, referred to by IRA operatives as \"The Cairo Gang\".", "On Bloody Sunday, Collins ordered his Counter-intelligence Unit, The Squad, to assassinate 25 M04(x) agents, several British Courts Martial Officers, at least one agent reporting to Basil Thomson, and several intelligence officers attached to the Royal Irish Constabulary Auxiliary Division, at their lodgings throughout Dublin.", "Although the shooting of 14 British officers had the desired effect on British morale, in many ways Bloody Sunday was a botched job.", "Three of Collins's men were apprehended after engaging in a shoot-out on the street, and at least two of the wounded British officers had no connection whatsoever to British Intelligence.", "Moreover, with MO4(x) having fielded a total of 175 agents of the DDSB, Collins's operation only temporarily slowed British momentum.", "Within days, the remaining 160-odd M04(x) agents were re-established in secure quarters inside solidly Loyalist hotels in Dublin, from where they continued to pursue Collins and the IRA relentlessly right up until the Truce.", "In December 1920 the entire DDSB was transferred from British Army Command to civil command under Deputy Police Commissioner General Ormonde Winter, and thereafter was known as \"D Branch\" within Dublin Castle.", "By January 1921, the highly experienced MI6 operative David Boyle arrived at Dublin Castle to take over the day-to-day management of D Branch.", "The unit's former commander, Colonel Wilson, resigned in protest for having had his command taken from him.", "D Branch thrived under Boyle's leadership.", "The net impact of Collins's strike of Bloody Sunday, November 21, 1920, was therefore quite negligible—even though the IRA had not gone up against MI5 professionals but instead only a quickly trained outfit of amateur army \"D-Listers.\"", "That afternoon, a mixed force of the British Army, the Royal Irish Constabulary, and the Black and Tans retaliated by indiscriminately shooting dead 14 civilians at a Gaelic Football match at Croke Park.", "In 1921, Sir Warren Fisher, the Government inspector general for civil service affairs, conducted a thorough review of the operations and expenditures of Basil Thomson's Home Intelligence Directorate.", "He issued a scathing report, accusing Thomson of wasting both money and resources and conducting redundant as well as ineffectual operations.", "Shortly thereafter, in a private meeting with Prime Minister David Lloyd George, Sir Basil Thomson was sacked, and the Home Intelligence Directorate was formally abolished.", "With Thomson out of the way, Special Branch was returned to the command of the Commissioner of The Criminal Investigation Division at Scotland Yard.", "Only then was Vernon Kell able once again to rebuild MI5 and regain its former place as Britain's chief domestic spy agency.", "MI5 operated in Italy during inter-war period.", "MI5 helped Benito Mussolini get his start in politics with the £100 weekly wage.", "MI5's decline in counter-espionage efficiency began in the 1930s.", "It was, to some extent, a victim of its own success.", "It was unable to break the ways of thinking it had evolved in the 1910s and 1920s.", "In particular, it was unable to adjust to the new methods of the Soviet intelligence services the NKVD and GRU.", "It continued to think in terms of agents who would attempt to gather information simply through observation or bribery, or to agitate within labour organisations and the armed services, while posing as ordinary citizens.", "The NKVD, meanwhile, had evolved more sophisticated methods; it began to recruit agents from within the upper classes, most notably from Cambridge University, who were seen as a long-term investment.", "They succeeded in gaining positions within the Government (and, in Kim Philby's case, within British intelligence itself), from where they were able to provide the NKVD with sensitive information.", "The most successful of these agents—Harold \"Kim\" Philby, Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt and John Cairncross—went undetected until after the Second World War, and were known as the Cambridge Five.", "MI5 experienced further failure during the Second World War.", "It was chronically unprepared, both organisationally and in terms of resources, for the outbreak of war, and utterly unequal to the task which it was assigned—the large-scale internment of enemy aliens in an attempt to uncover enemy agents.", "The operation was poorly handled and contributed to the near-collapse of the agency by 1940.", "One of the earliest actions of Winston Churchill on coming to power in early 1940 was to sack the agency's long-term head, Vernon Kell.", "He was replaced initially by the ineffective Brigadier A.W.A. Harker, as Acting Director General.", "Harker in turn was quickly replaced by David Petrie, an SIS man, with Harker as his deputy.", "With the ending of the Battle of Britain and the abandonment of invasion plans (correctly reported by both SIS and the Bletchley Park Ultra project), the spy scare eased, and the internment policy was gradually reversed.", "This eased pressure on MI5, and allowed it to concentrate on its major wartime success, the so-called \"double-cross\" system.", "This was a system based on an internal memo drafted by an MI5 officer in 1936, which criticised the long-standing policy of arresting and sending to trial all enemy agents discovered by MI5.", "Several had offered to defect to Britain when captured; before 1939, such requests were invariably turned down.", "The memo advocated attempting to \"turn\" captured agents wherever possible, and use them to mislead enemy intelligence agencies.", "This suggestion was turned into a massive and well-tuned system of deception during the Second World War.", "Beginning with the capture of an agent named Owens, codenamed Snow, MI5 began to offer enemy agents the chance to avoid prosecution (and thus the possibility of the death penalty) if they would work as British double-agents.", "Agents who agreed to this were supervised by MI5 in transmitting bogus \"intelligence\" back to the German secret service, the Abwehr.", "This necessitated a large-scale organisational effort, since the information had to appear valuable but actually be misleading.", "A high-level committee, the Wireless Board, was formed to provide this information.", "The day-to-day operation was delegated to a subcommittee, the Twenty Committee (so called because the Roman numerals for twenty, XX, form a double cross).", "The system was extraordinarily successful.", "A postwar analysis of German intelligence records found that of the 115 or so agents targeted against Britain during the war, all but one (who committed suicide) had been successfully identified and caught, with several \"turned\" to become double agents.", "The system played a major part in the massive campaign of deception which preceded the D-Day landings, designed to give the Germans a false impression of the location and timings of the landings (see Operation Fortitude).", "While the double-cross work dealt with enemy agents sent into Britain, a smaller-scale operation run by Victor Rothschild targeted British citizens who wanted to help Germany.", "The \"Fifth Column\" operation saw an MI5 officer, Eric Roberts, masquerade as the Gestapo's man in London, encouraging Nazi sympathizers to pass him information about people who would be willing to help Germany in the event of invasion.", "When his recruits began bringing in intelligence, he promised to pass that on to Berlin.", "The operation was deeply controversial within MI5, with opponents arguing that it amounted to entrapment.", "By the end of the war, Roberts had identified around 500 people.", "But MI5 decided not to prosecute, and instead covered the work up, even giving some of Roberts' recruits Nazi medals.", "They were never told the truth.", "All foreigners entering the country were processed at the London Reception Centre (LRC) at the Royal Patriotic School which was operated by MI5 subsection B1D, 30,000 were inspected at LRC.", "Captured enemy agents were taken to Camp 020, Latchmere House, for interrogation.", "This was commanded by Colonel Robin Stephens.", "There was a Reserve Camp, Camp 020R, at Huntercombe which was used mainly for long term detention of prisoners.", "The Prime Minister's personal responsibility for the Service was delegated to the Home Secretary Maxwell-Fyfe in 1952, with a directive issued by the Home Secretary setting out the role and objectives of the Director General.", "The service was subsequently placed on a statutory basis in 1989 with the introduction of the Security Service Act.", "This was the first government acknowledgement of the existence of the service.", "The post-war period was a difficult time for the Service with a significant change in the threat as the Cold War began, being challenged by an extremely active KGB and increasing incidence of the Northern Ireland conflict and international terrorism.", "Whilst little has yet been released regarding the successes of the service there have been a number of intelligence failures which have created embarrassment for both the service and the government.", "For instance in 1983 one of its officers, Michael Bettaney, was caught trying to sell information to the KGB.", "He was subsequently convicted of espionage.", "Following the Michael Bettaney case, Philip Woodfield was appointed as a staff counsellor for the security and intelligence services.", "His role was to be available to be consulted by any member or former member of the security and intelligence services who had \"anxieties relating to the work of his or her service\" that it had not been possible to allay through the ordinary processes of management-staff relations, including proposals for publications.", "The Service was instrumental in breaking up a large Soviet spy ring at the start of the 1970s, with 105 Soviet embassy staff known or suspected to be involved in intelligence activities being expelled from the country in 1971.", "One episode involving MI5 and the BBC came to light in the mid-1980s.", "MI5 officer Ronnie Stonham had an office in the BBC and took part in vetting procedures.", "Controversy arose when it was alleged that the service was monitoring trade unions and left-wing politicians.", "A file was kept on Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson from 1945, when he became an MP, although the agency's official historian, Christopher Andrew maintains that his fears of MI5 conspiracies and bugging were unfounded.", "As Home Secretary, the Labour MP Jack Straw discovered the existence of his own file dating from his days as a student radical.", "One of the most significant and far reaching failures was an inability to conclusively detect and apprehend the \"Cambridge Five\" spy ring which had formed in the inter-war years and achieved great success in penetrating the government, and the intelligence agencies themselves.", "Related to this failure were suggestions of a high-level penetration within the service, Peter Wright (especially in his controversial book \"Spycatcher\") and others believing that evidence implicated the former Director General, Roger Hollis or his deputy Graham Mitchell.", "The Trend inquiry of 1974 found the case unproven of that accusation, and that view was later supported by the former KGB officer Oleg Gordievsky.", "Another spy ring, the Portland Spy Ring, exposed after a tip-off by Soviet defector Michael Goleniewski, led to an extensive MI5 surveillance operation.", "There have been strong accusations leveled against MI5 for having failed in its obligation to provide care for former police agents who had infiltrated the Provisional IRA during the Troubles.", "The two most notable of the agents, Martin McGartland and Raymond Gilmour, went on to reside in England using false identities and in 2012 launched test cases against the agency.", "Both men claimed to journalist Liam Clarke in the \"Belfast Telegraph\" that they were abandoned by MI5 and were \"left high and dry despite severe health problems as a result of their work and lavish promises of life-time care from their former Intelligence bosses\".", "Both men suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.", "On 12 December 2001, following the United States invasion of Afghanistan, it was agreed that MI5 staff should be sent to Afghanistan to interview prisoners captured by the Northern Alliance and the US military.", "On 9 January 2002, the first MI5 staff arrived at Bagram.", "On 12 January 2002, following a report by an MI6 officer that a detainee appeared to have been mistreated before, an MI6 officer was sent instructions that were copied to all MI5 and MI6 staff in Afghanistan about how to deal with concerns over mistreatment, referring to signs of abuse: 'Given that they are not within our custody or control, the law does not require you to intervene to protect this.'", "It went on to say that the Americans had to understand that the UK did not condone such mistreatment and that a complaint should be made to a senior US official if there was any coercion by the US in conjunction with an MI6 interview.", "The end of the Cold War resulted in a change in emphasis for the operations of the service, assuming responsibility for the investigation of all Irish republican activity within Britain and increasing the effort countering other forms of terrorism, particularly in more recent years the more widespread threat of Islamic extremism.", "Whilst the British security forces in Northern Ireland have provided support in the countering of both republican and loyalist paramilitary groups since the early 1970s, republican sources have often accused these forces of collusion with loyalists.", "In 2006, an Irish government committee inquiry found that there was widespread collusion between British security forces and loyalist terrorists in the 1970s, which resulted in eighteen deaths.", "In 2012, a document based review by Sir Desmond de Silva QC into the 1989 murder of Belfast solicitor Patrick Finucane found that MI5 had colluded with the Ulster Defence Association (UDA).", "The review disclosed that MI5 assessments of UDA intelligence consistently noted that the majority came from MI5 sources with an assessment in 1985 finding 85% came from MI5.", "Prime Minister David Cameron accepted the findings and apologised on behalf of the British government and acknowledged significant levels of collusion with Loyalists in its state agencies.", "On 10 October 2007, the lead responsibility for national security intelligence in Northern Ireland returned to the Security Service from the Police Service of Northern Ireland that had been devolved in 1976 to the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) during Ulsterisation.", "During April 2010 the Real IRA detonated a 120 lb.", "car bomb outside Palace Barracks in County Down which is the headquarters of MI5 in Northern Ireland and also home to the 2nd Battalion The Mercian Regiment.", "MI5 is understood to have a close working relationship with the Republic of Ireland's Special Detective Unit (SDU), the counter-terrorism and counter-intelligence section of the \"Garda Síochána\" (national police), particularly with regards to threats from dissident republican terrorism and Islamic terrorism.", "Executive Liaison Groups enable MI5 to safely share secret, sensitive, and often raw intelligence with the police, on which decisions can be made about how best to gather evidence and prosecute suspects in the courts.", "Each organisation works in partnership throughout the investigation, but MI5 retain the lead for collecting, assessing and exploiting intelligence.", "The police take lead responsibility for gathering evidence, obtaining arrests and preventing risks to the public.", "In 1996, legislation formalised the extension of the Security Service's statutory remit to include supporting the law enforcement agencies in their work against serious crime.", "Tasking was reactive, acting at the request of law enforcement bodies such as the National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS), for whom MI5 agents performed electronic surveillance and eavesdropping duties during Operation Trinity.", "This role has subsequently been passed to the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) and then the National Crime Agency (NCA).", "In 2001, after the September 11 attacks in the U.S., MI5 started collecting bulk telephone communications data under a little understood general power of the Telecommunications Act 1984 (instead of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 which would have brought independent oversight and regulation).", "This was kept secret until announced by the Home Secretary in 2015.", "In July 2006, parliamentarian Norman Baker accused the British Government of \"hoarding information about people who pose no danger to this country\", after it emerged that MI5 holds secret files on 272,000 individuals—equivalent to one in 160 adults.", "In March 2018 the government acknowledged that MI5 agents are allowed to carry out criminal activity in the UK.", "Mao Foa, the director of Reprieve, said: “After a seven-month legal battle the prime minister has finally been forced to publish her secret order but we are a long way from having transparency.", "The public and parliament are still being denied the guidance that says when British spies can commit criminal offences and how far they can go.", "Authorised criminality is the most intrusive power a state can wield.", "Theresa May must publish this guidance without delay.”", "MI5 was based at Leconfield House (1945–1976) and 140 Gower Street (1976–1994, since demolished) before moving to Thames House in 1994.", "Although commonly referred to as \"MI5\", this was the Service's official name for only thirteen years (1916–1929), but it is still used as a sub-title on the various pages of the official Security Service

signed at the Shunpanrō hotel, Shimonoseki, Japan on 17 April 1895, between the Empire of Japan and the Qing dynasty, ending the First Sino-Japanese War.", "The peace conference took place from 20 March to 17 April 1895.", "This treaty followed and superseded the Sino-Japanese Friendship and Trade Treaty of 1871.", "The treaty ended the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894–1895 as a clear victory for Japan.", "In this treaty, China recognized the independence of Korea and renounced any claims to that country.", "It also ceded the Liaodong Peninsula (then known to the Western press as \"Liaotung\", modern day Dalian in the southern part of Liaoning province), and the islands of Formosa (Taiwan) and Penghu (also known as the Pescadores) to Japan.", "China also paid Japan a war indemnity of 200 million Kuping taels, payable over seven years, and the signing of a commercial treaty similar to ones previously signed by China with various western powers in the aftermath of the First and Second Opium Wars.", "This commercial treaty confirmed the opening of various ports and rivers to Japanese trade.", "As a result of the Treaty of Shimonoseki (1895), China recognized the \"full and complete independence and autonomy\" of Joseon.", "In the next year Yeongeunmun was demolished leaving its two stone pillars.", "Qing China's indemnity to Japan of 200 million silver kuping taels, or about 240,000,000 ozt .", "After the Triple intervention, they paid another 30 million taels for a total of over 276,000,000 ozt silver, worth about $5 billion US Dollars in 2015.", "During the summit between Japanese and Qing representatives in March and April 1895, Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito and Foreign Minister Munemitsu Mutsu were serious about reducing the power of Qing Dynasty on not only the Korean Peninsula but also the Taiwan islands.", "Moreover, Mutsu had already noticed its importance in order to expand Japanese military power towards South China and Southeast Asia.", "It was also the age of imperialism, so Japan wished to mimic what the Western nations were doing.", "Imperial Japan was seeking colonies and resources in the Korean Peninsula and Mainland China to compete with the presence of Western powers at that time.", "This was the way the Japanese leadership chose to illustrate how fast Imperial Japan had advanced compared to the West since the 1867 Meiji Restoration, and the extent it wanted to amend the unequal treaties that were held in the Far East by the Western powers.", "At the peace conference between Imperial Japan and Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang and Li Jingfang, the ambassadors at the negotiation desk of Qing Dynasty, originally did not plan to cede Taiwan because they also realised Taiwan's great location for trading with the West.", "Therefore, even though the Qing had lost wars against Britain and France in the 19th century, the Qing Emperor was serious about keeping Taiwan under its rule, which began in 1683.", "On 20 March 1895, at Shunpanrō in Shimonoseki in Japan, a one month long peace conference began.", "At the first half of the conference, Ito and Li talked mainly about a cease-fire agreement, and during the second half of the conference, the contents of the peace treaty were discussed.", "Ito and Mutsu claimed that yielding the full sovereignty of Taiwan was an absolute condition and requested Li to hand over full sovereignty of Penghu Islands and the eastern portion of the bay of Liaodong Peninsula (Dalian).", "Li Hongzhang refused on the grounds that Taiwan had never been a battlefield during the first Sino-Japanese War between 1894 and 1895.", "By the final stage of the conference, while Li Hongzhang agreed to the transfer of full sovereignty of the Penghu islands and the eastern portion of the bay of Liaodong Peninsula to Imperial Japan, he still refused to hand over Taiwan.", "As Taiwan had been a province since 1885, Li stated, \"Taiwan is already a province, and therefore not to be given away .\"", "However, Imperial Japan was too strong for the Qing Dynasty to cope with, and eventually Li gave Taiwan up.", "On 17 April 1895, the peace treaty between Imperial Japan and the Qing Dynasty had been signed and was followed by the successful Japanese invasion of Taiwan.", "This had a huge impact on Taiwan, the turning over of the island to Imperial Japan marking the end of 200 years of Qing rule despite an attempt by Qing loyalists to prevent the annexation.", "The treaty was drafted with John W. Foster, former American Secretary of State, advising the Qing Empire.", "It was signed by Count Itō Hirobumi and Viscount Mutsu Munemitsu for the Emperor of Japan and Li Hongzhang and Li Jingfang on behalf of the Emperor of China.", "Before the treaty was signed, Li Hongzhang was attacked by a right-wing Japanese extremist on 24 March: he was fired at and wounded on his way back to his lodgings at Injoji temple.", "The public outcry aroused by the assassination attempt caused the Japanese to temper their demands and agree to a temporary armistice.", "The conference was temporarily adjourned and resumed on 10 April.", "The conditions imposed by Japan on China led to the Triple Intervention of Russia, France, and Germany, western powers all active in China, with established enclaves and ports, just six days after its signing.", "They demanded that Japan withdraw its claim on the Liaodong peninsula, concerned that Lüshun, then called Port Arthur by Westerners, would fall under Japanese control.", "Tsar Nicholas II of Russia (an ally of France) and his imperial advisors, including his cousin-advisor-friend-rival Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, had designs on Port Arthur, which could serve as Russia's long sought-after 'ice-free' port.", "Under threat of war from three Western political powers, in November 1895, Japan — a weaker emerging nation not yet perceived as even a regional power — returned control of the territory and withdrew its \"de jure\" claim on the Liaotung peninsula in return for an increased war indemnity from China of 30 million Taels.", "At that time, the European powers were not concerned with any of the other conditions, or the free hand Japan had been granted in Korea under the other terms of the Treaty of Shimonoseki.", "This would prove to be a mistake, as Japan would end up occupying Korea by 1905 and expand into Russia's sphere of influence with the Russo-Japanese war, and then encroach upon Germany's port in Shandong during World War I.", "Within months after Japan re-ceded the Liaodong peninsula, Russia started construction on the peninsula and a railway to Harbin from Port Arthur, despite a protesting China.", "Eventually, Russia agreed to offer a diplomatic solution (See Kwantung Leased Territory) to the Chinese Empire, and agreed to a token lease of the region to save face, instead of annexing Manchuria outright, which was its effect.", "Within two years, Germany, France, and Great Britain had similarly taken advantage of the economic and political opportunities in the weak Chinese Empire, each taking control of significant local regions.", "Japan also took note of how the international community allowed the great powers to treat weaker nation states, and continued its remarkable measures to bootstrap itself into a modern industrial state and military power, with great success as it would demonstrate in the Russo-Japanese War less than a decade later.", "In Taiwan, pro-Qing officials and elements of the local gentry declared a Republic of Formosa in 1895, but failed to win international recognition.", "In China, the Treaty was considered a national humiliation by the bureaucracy and greatly weakened support for the Qing dynasty.", "The previous decades of the Self-Strengthening Movement were considered to be a failure, and support grew for more radical changes in China's political and social systems which led to Hundred Days' Reform in 1898.", "When the latter movement failed due to resistance from the Manchu nobility, a series of uprisings culminated in the fall of the Qing dynasty itself in 1911.", "The Triple Intervention is regarded by many Japanese historians as being a crucial historic turning point in Japanese foreign affairs – from this point on, the nationalist, expansionist, and militant elements began to join ranks and steer Japan from a foreign policy based mainly on economic hegemony toward outright imperialism — a case of \"the coerced\" turning increasingly \"to coercion\".", "Both the Republic of China, now controlling Taiwan, and the People's Republic of China, now controlling mainland China consider that the provisions of the treaty transferring Taiwan to Japan to have been reversed by the Instrument of Surrender of Japan.", "Additionally, it is alleged that on 28 April 1952 the contents of the Treaty of Shimonoseki treaty were formally nullified through what is commonly known as the Treaty of Taipei with the Republic of China.", "However, argues that only those provisions of the 1895 treaty which had not yet been fulfilled in their entirety could be subject to nullification.", "The cession provision which had already been carried out was no longer existent and, therefore, could no longer be subjected to nullification.", "In support of this reasoning, Ng points to the reparations provision of Article IV of the 1895 treaty, as well as additional reparations provisions from earlier Sino-Japanese agreements & treaties.", "These were all regarded as \"fulfilled provisions\" and not subject to later nullification or cancellation.", "The People's Republic of China does not recognize the Treaty of Taipei.", "Russia wasted little time after the Triple Intervention to move men and materials down into the Liaodong to start building a railroad from both ends — Port Arthur and Harbin, as it already had railway construction in progress across northern Inner Manchuria to shorten the rail route to Russia's principal Pacific Ocean naval base at Vladivostok, a port closed by ice four months of each year.", "Russia also improved the port facilities at Port Arthur and founded a commercial town nearby at Dalniy (modern-day Dalian, which now encompasses Port Arthur in its jurisdiction), before inking the lease of the territory.", "When the de facto governance of Port Arthur and the Liaodong peninsula was granted de jure to Russia by China along with an increase in other rights she had obtained in Manchuria (especially those in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces) the construction of the 550 mile Southern spurline of the Manchurian Railway was redoubled.", "Russia finally seemed to have gotten what the Russian Empire had been wanting in its quest to become a global power since the reign of Peter the Great.", "This ice-free natural harbor of Port Arthur/Lüshun would serve to make Russia a great sea as well as the largest land power.", "Russia needed this ice-free port to achieve world power status as it was tired of being blocked by the balance of power politics in Europe (The Ottoman Empire and its allies had repeatedly frustrated Russian power fruition).", "However, the omission of the geopolitical reality in ignoring the free hand Japan had been granted by the Treaty (of Shimonoseki) with respect to Korea and Taiwan was short-sighted of Russia with respect to its strategic goals; to get to and maintain a strong point in Port Arthur Russia would have to dominate and control many additional hundreds of miles of Eastern Manchuria (the Fengtian province of Imperial China, modern Jilin and Heilongjiang) up to Harbin.", "Japan had long considered the lands paralleling the whole Korean border as part of its strategic Sphere of Influence.", "By leasing \"Liaodong\" and railway concessions, Russia crashed its Sphere of Influence squarely into Japan's.", "This acted as a further goad to emerging Japanese anger at their disrespectful treatment by all the West.", "In the immediate fallout of the \"Triple Intervention\", Japanese popular resentment at Russia's deviousness and the perceived weakness of its own government caving in to foreign pressure led to riots in Tokyo.", "The disturbance almost brought down the government, as well as a strengthening of imperial and expansionist factions within Japan.", "The Russian spear into the sphere also brought about the ensuing struggle with Russia for dominance in Korea and Manchuria.", "These events eventually led to the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905 by a renewed and modernized Japanese military, which led to a major defeat for Russia that marked the beginning of the end for the Romanov dynasty." ] } }

football is gridiron football played by high school teams in the United States and Canada.", "It ranks among the most popular interscholastic sports in both countries.", "High school football began in the late 19th century, concurrent with the start of many college football programs.", "In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many college and high school teams played against one another.", "Today, the oldest high school football rivalry dates back to 1875 in Connecticut, between the Norwich Free Academy Wildcats and the New London High School Whalers.", "High school football traditions such as pep rallies, marching bands, mascots, and homecomings are mirrored from college football.", "No true minor league farm organizations exist in American football.", "Therefore, high school football is generally considered to be the third tier of American football in the United States, behind professional and college competition.", "It is the first level of play in which a player will accumulate statistics, which will determine his chances of competing at the college level, and ultimately the professional level if he is talented enough.", "In the 2000s and beyond, there has been growing concern about safety and long-term brain health, both regarding the occasional concussion as well as the steady diet of lesser hits to the head.", "The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) establishes the rules of high school football in the United States.", "As of the next high school season of 2019, Texas is the only state that does not base its football rules on the NFHS rule set, instead using NCAA rules with certain exceptions shown below.", "Through the 2018 season, Massachusetts also based its rules on those of the NCAA, but it adopted NFHS rules since 2019.", "At least one unique high school rule has been adopted by college football.", "Thirty-four states have a mercy rule that comes into play during one-sided games after a prescribed scoring margin is surpassed at halftime or any point thereafter.", "The type of mercy rule varies from state to state, with many using a \"continuous clock\" after the scoring margin is reached (wherein, except for specific situations, the clock keeps running on plays where the clock would normally stop), while other states end the game once the margin is reached or passed.", "For example, Texas uses a 45-point mercy rule (to stop the game) only in six-man football; for 11-man football there is no automatic stoppage but the coaches may mutually agree to use a continuous clock.", "Most Canadian schools use Canadian football rules adapted for the high school game.", "The exception is British Columbia, which uses NFHS rules as used in the United States.", "Each state has at least one sanctioning organization for public schools.", "In many states a separate organization governs interscholastic athletics at most private schools.", "Each sanctioning body divides its member schools up into anywhere from two to eight size classifications based on the number of students enrolled at a school (so that schools are assured to compete against other schools of comparable size) and then each classification is further divided into geographic regions; the nomenclature and number of divisions vary from state to state.", "A school's size classification can change if its enrollment rises or declines over the years.", "At the smallest schools, particularly in rural communities or smaller private schools, variations on the game using six, eight, or nine players per side instead of the traditional eleven (or twelve in Canada) are encountered.", "Homeschooled students may also participate in high school football through independent or freelance teams, which compete against small private (or in a few cases, public) schools.", "In some states, such as Florida, state law allows homeschooled students to compete in interscholastic athletics for their local school district.", "Thus, homeschooled Tim Tebow, who was one of the top quarterback prospects in the nation, was able to play for the nationally ranked public Nease High School after he and his mother rented an apartment in that school district.", "He later on became the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos.", "Training for the upcoming season usually starts with weightlifting and other conditioning activities, such as specialized speed and agility training.", "In some states, this begins a few weeks after the end of the previous season, and in others as late as August.", "Some states allow seven

school starts.", "After double sessions end, regular season practices begin with daily sessions each week day afternoon except on game day.", "Practices are often held on Saturday as well, but almost never on Sunday.", "The regular season typically consists of ten games in most states; Kansas is one of the few states which limits teams to nine.", "Teams in Minnesota usually play eight, while teams in New York typically schedule only seven.", "The first game of the season is usually in early September, or late August, and the final regular season game is usually in mid to late October, with the end of the season varying by state and climate.", "Teams may have one or more bye weeks during the regular season.", "Larger schools (especially those with successful programs) can often draw attendances in the thousands, even for regular season games, and in some cases may play the game at a college or professional stadium to accommodate the expected large crowds.", "The vast majority of high school football games are scheduled on Friday nights, with Thursday evenings and Saturdays being less heavily used.", "Alternate days are most common in larger school districts where the facilities are used by multiple schools, or where the playing field is not illuminated for nighttime use due to financial limitations, local regulations, or neighborhood opposition against night games.", "Prior to the 1970s, many states crowned state champions through polls, but playoff systems have become nearly universal.", "Since then, most states have steadily increased the number of teams eligible to participate and total number of classifications.", "Though the playoff scheme and number of teams eligible varies, regional champions will compete in elimination playoff rounds – in a tradition borrowed from pro football rather than college – to determine a state champion for each size classification.", "Only one state, New Jersey, does not crown state public-school champions, only determining regional state champions, but does crown state champions for non-public schools.", "Massachusetts did not establish a state championship until 2014, previously crowning only regional champions as in New Jersey.", "New York's championships are nominally statewide, but only include upstate New York because the divisions representing New York City and Long Island (which cover the majority of the state's population) abstain from the state tournaments.", "In many large cities, including Pittsburgh, New York City, and Los Angeles, as well as some very small districts in places such as Western New York, public high schools compete in their own \"city leagues\" and may or may not ever play opponents outside of them.", "At the other extreme are states such as Illinois, Louisiana and West Virginia, in which regional championships do not exist; the state's playoffs are seeded on a statewide basis.", "The championship games are usually held at a neutral site, usually a college or NFL stadium needed to accommodate the larger crowds.", "College and professional fields are also usually better equipped to handle inclement weather which is common since state championship games are typically held in late November to the middle of December.", "In the vast majority of states, all championship games are played at one site, such as the UNI-Dome in Iowa, War Memorial Stadium in Arkansas, Pratt & Whitney Stadium in Connecticut, Camp Randall Stadium in Wisconsin, Georgia State Stadium in Georgia, Ford Field in Michigan, the DakotaDome in South Dakota, Kroger Field in Kentucky, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in Louisiana, Lucas Oil Stadium in Indiana, Memorial Stadium in Nebraska, the Carrier Dome in New York, and AT&T Stadium in Texas.", "Alabama previously played all of its championship games at Legion Field, but at the urging of Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban, the games now alternate between Bryant–Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa and Jordan–Hare Stadium in Auburn.", "Mississippi, which previously held its games at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium in Jackson, has done the same, alternating between Vaught–Hemingway Stadium in Oxford and Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville.", "Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Idaho and New Mexico are among the states which play only one championship game per site.", "The current record for number of state high school football championships is held by Washington High School in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which is 37 as of 2010.", "Some publications and internet sites release nationwide rankings based on polls or mathematical formulas which take into account various factors like average margin of victory and strength of schedule.", "Schools that finish atop these rankings, particularly the USA Today poll, are sometimes considered to be the national champions.", "Outside of the playoff tournaments, high school football on Thanksgiving has also historically been popular; originally the traditional end of the high school football season, Thanksgiving football has become less common because of state tournaments (it is still widely popular in some states, particularly in New England).", "Because of its overlap with the playoff season, many teams forgo their rights to a playoff tournament to participate in exhibition rivalry games that are held over Thanksgiving weekend.", "Others will play a rivalry game only when they do not qualify for the playoffs.", "Many of the state championship tournaments are purposely scheduled to conclude on the weekend of Thanksgiving.", "In Ontario, high schools play in bowl games similar to college football in the United States.", "Until 2012, the games were determined by geographical location as opposed to a team's record.", "There were five bowl games for five different geographical regions; the Northern Bowl, the Golden Horseshoe Bowl, the National Capital Bowl, the Western Bowl and the Metro Bowl.", "For instance, the National Capital Bowl champion is determined through contests between teams from the Bay of Quinte, Simcoe County, Kawartha Lakes, Ottawa Valley and East Ontario.", "East Ontario or EOSSAA (Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association) champion is determined by the champions from divisions within itself such as KASSAA (Kingston Area Secondary School Athletic Association).", "Since 2013, the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations has held an annual bowl game series at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ontario featuring random pairings between the champions of the OFSAA's 18 member associations.", "Since 2015, the festival has featured nine bowls: Western Bowl – SWOSSAA/ WOSSAA, Golden Horseshoe Bowl – GHAC/ SOSSA, Metro Bowl – TDCAA/ TDSSAA, Central Bowl – CWOSSA/ ROPSSAA, Simcoe Bowl – GBSSA/ YRAA, National Capital Bowl – NCSSAA/ EOSSAA, Northern Bowl – NOSSA/ NWOSSAA, Eastern Bowl – LOSSA/ COSSA, and Independent Bowl – CISAA/ 2nd Entry with one of two associations drawn to compete one year, and the other automatically competing in that bowl game in the following year.", "The remaining nine associations are drawn by lottery to determine their pairing.", "Other provinces typically divide schools by size and hold playoffs in a similar manner to those contested in US states.", "All DoDEA Europe high schools offering football will participate in regular season competition facing their Division opponents.", "In Division I the top four teams at the end of the season will advance to the semi-final games with the winners of those games advancing to the championship game.", "Division II will be divided into two conference with the top 4 in each conference participating in quarter-final matchups, with the winners advancing to the semi-finals and the final two teams remaining participating in the championships.", "The FINAL FOUR Championships will be held in the Kaiserslautern Military Community following the play-offs.", "Many larger high schools also have a separate junior varsity team along with their regular or varsity team.", "In many cases, these teams – sometimes called the \"sophomore team\" – are made up of sophomores and some freshmen, although some underclassmen will be called up to play varsity, especially to replace injured varsity players or if the underclassman player is exceptionally talented.", "At larger schools, there often will be a third team for freshmen (called the freshman team) or, in unified school districts, a \"modified\" team that includes freshmen and middle school students.", "Typically, there are no playoffs for junior varsity teams, although many leagues will award a championship title to the team with the best record.", "Overtime rules are often disregarded, meaning it is possible for games to end in a tie.", "Junior varsity teams usually have the same schedule as the varsity, with many games played on the same night and at the same site as the varsity game, with the JV game serving as a preliminary contest before the varsity game.", "Some schools also field a true junior varsity team, which are simply made up of junior and senior players who typically do not see playing time in the varsity game (except during the final minutes of a one-sided game); some freshmen and sophomores will also play in these games, as will a few juniors who start but either are playing in a different position or will be expected to have leadership roles as seniors.", "In addition to providing opportunities to play in a timed contest, coaches may use these types of contests to see how well underclassmen and juniors play together, since they would replace varsity players lost to graduation; and to assess the talent and actual game-situation abilities of those players who rarely get to play in varsity games.", "While sometimes these games will be played on the same night as varsity games, true JV teams often play on a different night and may have a separate schedule composed of conference and non-conference teams.", "In all states, the HS football season will have ended by late December, but the recruiting process by which colleges offer scholarships to high school seniors often starts in the summer, before the school year and football season begin.", "Physical assessment is an increasingly important part of the recruiting process.", "Football camps are held at college campuses where a large number of potential recruits can be evaluated simultaneously in various speed and skills drills.", "Players are evaluated based on running the 40-yard dash, agility shuttle, vertical jump and the number of repetitions on the bench press that they can perform at a given weight.", "Recently, the SPARQ rating has become a popular composite metric to evaluate overall athleticism.", "Based on performance over the course of their careers and at camps, colleges will typically take potential recruits on tours of the campus and athletic facilities, or the college may have its team's coach visit the recruit at home or at school.", "While all colleges do much of their recruiting from local and in-state high schools, where they can network with HS coaches and booster clubs, the nation's top college programs can easily recruit athletes from around the country.", "Some colleges have historically been aided in this regard through their prominence within their religious affiliation, such as Notre Dame or BYU.", "Students who played for larger high schools, or who competed in nationally televised matches, have a natural advantage towards recruitment, while players who competed at smaller schools – such as most states' 1A and 2A categories – or in states where high school football is not perceived as being of a high caliber will have their skills and achievements judged versus the lower-caliber opposition they faced and, as such, are rarely considered as top prospects.", "Occasionally, though, a student at a smaller school will receive a full scholarship; an extreme example of this is Jehuu Caulcrick, a fullback who received a full scholarship to Michigan State University despite playing high school in Clymer, New York, one of the smallest school districts in the state (and a state where high school football is not seen as particularly high caliber).", "Caulcrick went on to have a successful college career and several years as a journeyman professional, ending his football career as a member of his hometown team, the Buffalo Bills.", "Though it is an expensive project, high school football players often increase their visibility by sending out video highlights of their playing skills to college recruiters.", "If a student receives no scholarship offers, they may still attempt to make a college team by becoming a \"walk on\" and paying their own tuition in the hopes that they can make the team and possibly receive a scholarship.", "Others will try out for a non-scholarship team, such as a Division III school, or a two-year junior college team.", "The latter option is also popular with students with academic or behavioral issues that would prevent them from playing at a four-year college.", "While the vast majority of high school football players will not even be considered for a scholarship offer, players who receive nationwide attention will invariably receive scholarship offers from more than one school and will often hold a press conference to announce their final selection.", "\"All Star\" exhibition games like the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, which is televised nationally by NBC, give the nation's top prospects the opportunity to publicly announce their college selection or to provide one last opportunity to showcase their talents to college recruiters.", "By National Signing Day, the first Wednesday in February, most top recruits will have already signed non-binding letters of intent or verbally committed with colleges.", "A number of all-star football games are played among high school football players in the United States.", "The caliber of these games varies widely; games such as the aforementioned U.S. Army All-American Bowl tend to draw some of the most renowned high school players in the country, while smaller regional contests such as the Big 30 All-Star Football Game may only draw from a small region.", "The International Federation of American Football sponsors the biennial U19 World Championship for high school-aged players around the world.", "As with all IFAF tournaments, players play for national teams; the U.S. and Canada national teams have alternated as champions and runners-up throughout the tournament's existence.", "As with college and professional football teams, most high school teams in every state have a mascot or team name.", "Many are generic allusions conveying an image sense of strength, speed, or bravery.", "Thus, pluralized team names such as Tigers, Eagles, Wildcats, Trojans, and Warriors are fairly common throughout the country.", "Other team names, however, have a historical connection to the town or area where the high school or school district is located, such as a locally important industry.", "For example, Yuma High School in Yuma, Arizona is known as the \"Criminals\" due to the school's historic connection to the infamous Yuma Territorial Prison.", "Many new schools, or schools that had merged with other schools, have allowed their students to vote on a new school mascot or team nickname.", "Because of high school football's mostly limited regional appeal, and because most games take place during prime time (albeit during the Friday night death slot), television exposure of high school football on both a local and national basis tends to be limited to championship games only, or for the regular season to the lower-tier stations in a market such as a MyNetworkTV affiliate or independent television station where no critical programming would be pre-empted, where the game chosen for coverage may be put up to a public vote.", "Local public access cable television and local radio stations often air regular season contests, and in some cases, the school's own radio station (or a nearby college) broadcasts the game using student announcers.", "One such example is San Diego's Prep Pigskin Report.", "High school football is often an integral part of the modern full service radio format, which centers on local information; radio's prime times are traditionally earlier in the day, and there is far less risk of preemption, since many stations would otherwise be automated or off the air during the times high school football games are played, or air much less popular evening talk shows.", "There has also been a marked increase in recent years of web-based media covering high school sporting events.", "Examples include Mid America Broadcasting in Indiana, Champs Sports Network and MSA Sports Network in Western Pennsylvania, MSBN in Minnesota, and BSports.org in Washington.", "In many television markets, local stations will air 30 or 60-minute 'scoreboard' shows following their late Friday newscast with scores and highlights from games in their coverage area.", "Many national media outlets have been producing national high school football rankings, including High School Football America, which has been releasing its Top 25 since 2011.", "Despite increased national media attention, some states restrict the broadcast of high school games.", "One example is the University Interscholastic League, which governs public school sports in Texas.", "The UIL has a long-standing ban on television broadcasting of high school football games on Friday nights, believing that doing so could hurt ticket sales (radio broadcasts are allowed, though).", "Because of this, several games that have been broadcast on ESPN and Fox Sports Net in recent years have had to be played on either Thursday night or on Saturday to avoid the UIL's ban.", "The Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 and Public Law 89-800, which govern the antitrust exemptions given to the National Football League, prohibit the broadcasting of NFL games within 75 miles of any high school football game on Friday nights between September and early December.", "Because most populated areas of the United States have at least one high school football game within a 75-mile radius, and because broadcasting is an integral part of the NFL's business model (roughly half of the league's revenue comes from television contracts), this effectively prohibits the playing of NFL games in competition with high school football.", "(These rules do not apply during preseason, when Friday night games are common, nor does it apply at the end of the season, though the only time regular season games are played on Friday in the NFL is on Christmas.)", "Only recently have national sports television channels fully capitalized on this rule; since 2005, the ESPN family of networks (usually the sub-networks ESPN2, ESPNU and online broadcaster ESPN3, although the main channel also shows occasional games) has aired regular season matchups between nationally ranked teams under the \"High School Showcase\" banner.", "Fox Sports 1 also included high school football in its lineup when it launched in 2013.", "Hollywood portrayals of high school football, whether comedies or dramas, often portray the game at the center of a small town's existence and the focus of its attention.", "\"Also see Jock (subculture)\"", "Robert Cantu, a Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery and Co-Founder of the CTE Center at the Boston University School of Medicine, believes that children under 14 should not play tackle football.", "Their brains are not fully developed, and myelin (nerve cell insulation) is at greater risk in shear when the brain is young.", "Myelination is completed at about 15 years of age.", "Children also have larger heads relative to their body size and weaker necks.", "Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is caused by repeated brain trauma, such as concussions and blows to the head that do not produce concussions.", "It has been found in football players who had played for only a few years, including some who only played at the high school level.", "An NFL-funded study reported that high school football players suffered 11.2 concussions per 10,000 games or practices, nearly twice as many as college football players." ] } }

Torah, as codified in the Talmud and subsequent works, to be authoritative interpretations of the Torah.", "As a result, Karaite Jews do not accept as binding the written collections of the oral tradition in the Midrash or Talmud.", "When interpreting the Torah, Karaites strive to adhere to the plain or most obvious meaning (\"peshat\") of the text; this is not necessarily the literal meaning, but rather the meaning that would have been naturally understood by the ancient Israelites when the books of the Torah were first written.", "By contrast, Rabbinic Judaism relies on the legal rulings of the Sanhedrin as they are codified in the Midrash, Talmud, and other sources to indicate the authentic meaning of the Torah.", "Karaite Judaism holds every interpretation of the Torah to the same scrutiny regardless of its source, and teaches that it is the personal responsibility of every individual Jew to study the Torah, and ultimately decide personally its correct meaning.",

centuries) under the Abbasid Caliphate in what is present-day Iraq.", "This is the view universally accepted among Rabbinic Jews.", "However, some Arab scholars claim that Karaites were already living in Egypt in the first half of the 7th century, based on a legal document that the Karaite community in Egypt had in its possession until the end of the 19th century, in which the first Islamic governor ordered the leaders of the Rabbinite community against interfering with Karaite practices or the way they celebrate their holidays.", "It was said to have been stamped by the palm of 'Amr ibn

some influences remain possible).", "Early 20th-century scholars Oesterley and Box suggested that Karaism formed in a reaction to the rise of Islam.", "The new religion recognized Judaism as a fellow

percent of world Jewry, and debates between Rabbinist and Karaite leaders were not uncommon.", "Most notable among the opposition to Karaite thought and practice at this time are the writings of Rabbi

Rabbinite Jews, freeing them from various oppressive laws that affected Rabbinic Jews.", "The Tsarist governor of the Taurida Governorate, Mikhail Semyonovich Vorontsov, told the Karaite leaders that,

the Karaites, as descendants of the exiled northern kingdom of Israel, had already gone into exile centuries before the death of Jesus and thus had no responsibility for it.", "Firkovich referenced tombstones in Crimea (altering the dates) and gathered thousands of Karaite, Rabbinic, and Samaritan manuscripts, including one rabbinic document from Transcaucasia that claims that the Jews there were descendants of the exiles from the northern Kingdom of Israel.", "These actions convinced the Tsar that Karaite ancestors could not have killed Jesus and that thus their descendants were free of familial guilt.", "Despite this, within the community Ḥakhamim still taught that the Karaites were and had always been a part of the Jewish people; prayer was in Hebrew, the lineage of Kohens,

the Russian Empire.", "By the early 20th century, most European Karaites were no longer very knowledgeable about the religion and Seraya Shapshal, a Karaite soldier of fortune who had been the tutor of the last Qajar Shah of Persia, Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar and a Russian spy, managed about 1911 to get himself elected Chief Ḥakham of the Karaites in the Russian Empire (by that time, due to Russian regulations, the position had become more of a political one than a spiritual one).", "Influenced by the Pan-Turkic movement in Turkey, Shapshal made his position into that of an Emperor-priest.", "He changed the title Hakham to \"Ḥakhan\" (a cross between the Turkic titles khagan and khan), forbade the use of Hebrew, and in the 1930s introduced pagan elements (such as the veneration of sacred oak trees in the cemetery).", "He recognized both Jesus and Muhammad as prophets (thus appeasing both the Russian Orthodox Tsarist government and the Muslim Turkic peoples).", "After the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, atheism became official state policy in Soviet territories and Karaite religious schools and places of worship were the very first religious institutions closed by the Soviet government.", "The authorities allowed only the teaching of Shapshalian doctrines about the Karaites, and the official stance according to Soviet law (carried over from Russian Imperial law) erroneously regarded the Karaites as Turkic descendants of the Khazars and not as Jews.", "Not all European Karaites accepted the Shapshalian doctrines.", "Some Hachamim and a small part of the general Karaite population still preserved their Jewish heritage, but most dared not oppose Shapshal openly due to his official standing with regard to the Soviet Union.", "All Jewish men in Egypt

not object to the idea of a body of interpretation of the Torah, along with extensions and development of non-rabbinic \"halakha\" (Jewish law) that strives to adhere to the Tanakh's straightforward meaning.", "Several hundred such books have been written by various Karaite Ḥakhamim (sages) throughout the movement's history, although most are lost today.", "The disagreement arises over the rabbinic tradition's raising of the Talmud and the other writings of the rabbis above the Torah.", "The Karaites believe this has led to traditions and customs being kept under rabbinic law that contradict what is written in the Torah.", "The Karaites also have their own traditions and customs passed down from their ancestors and religious authorities.", "These are known as \"Sevel HaYerushah\", which means \"the Yoke or burden of Inheritance.\"", "Most of these practices are kept primarily by traditional Karaites; theoretically, any tradition thereof is said to be rejected if it contradicts the simple meaning of the Tanakh's text.", "The vast majority of these traditions are not forced upon any Karaite Jew or convert to Judaism through the Karaite movement, except very few such as donning a head covering in the Karaite synagogues (except the synagogue in Hedgesville, West Virginia).", "Those Karaites who are new to the Karaite lifestyle do not have such an inheritance or tradition and tend to rely heavily upon just the Tanakh and those practices mentioned in it, and to adapt Biblical practices to their cultural context.", "Karaite communities are so small and generally isolated, that their members commonly adopt the customs of their host country.", "In Israel, too, traditional Karaites tend to be culturally assimilated into mainstream society (both secular and Orthodox).", "Many modern Karaite Jews have emerged from the Karaite revival of the late 20th century; the World Karaite Movement was founded by Nehemia Gordon and Ḥakham Meir Rekhavi in the early 1990s.", "Karaite Jewish University (KJU), approved by the Mo‘eṣet HaḤakhamim (the Council of Sages) in Israel, was founded to teach an introductory course on Karaite Judaism.", "It could lead to a student's conversion by a \"Beit Din\" (religious Jewish court) authorized by the Mo‘eṣet HaḤakhamim.", "KJU teaches various forms of Karaite Judaism and includes \"Sevel HaYerushah\" in its course materials.", "Thus, newly admitted converts to Karaite Judaism can choose to accept or reject Sevel HaYerushah.", "As with other Jews, during Shabbat, Karaites attend synagogues to worship and to offer prayers.", "Most Karaites refrain from sexual relations on that day since they maintain that engaging in them can cause fatigue and copulation, in particular, results in ritual impurity on this holy day, concerns that Rabbinic Judaism ceased to have long ago; additionally, impregnating one's wife is considered \"melakha\" (forbidden work).", "Their prayer books are composed almost completely of biblical passages.", "Karaite Jews often practice full prostration during prayers, while most other Jews no longer pray in this fashion.", "Unlike Rabbinic Jews, Karaites do not practice the ritual of lighting Shabbat candles.", "They have a differing interpretation of the Torah verse, \"You shall not burn (Hebrew: \"bi‘er\" the \"pi‘el\" form of \"ba‘ar\") a fire in any of your dwellings on the day of Shabbat.\"", "In Rabbinic Judaism, the \"qal\" verb form \"ba‘ar\" is understood to mean \"burn\", whereas the \"pi‘el\" form (present here) is understood to be, not intensive as usual but causative, the rule being that the pi‘el of a stative verb will be causative, instead of the usual hif‘il.", "Hence \"bi‘er\" means \"kindle\", which is why Rabbinic Judaism prohibits \"starting\" a fire on Shabbat.", "The vast majority of Karaite Jews hold that, throughout the Tanakh, \"ba‘ar\" explicitly means \"to burn\", while the Hebrew word meaning \"to ignite\" or \"to kindle\" is \"hidliq\".", "Accordingly, the mainstream in Karaite Judaism takes the passage to mean that fire should not be left burning in a Jewish home on Shabbat, regardless of whether it was lit prior to, or during the Sabbath.", "However, the minority of Karaites who view the prohibition to be on kindling a fire often permit a fire to continue burning into the Sabbath.", "Historically, Karaites refrained from using or deriving benefit from fire until the Sabbath ends, and accordingly their homes were not lit during the night of the Sabbath.", "Many modern Karaites today use a fluorescent or LED lamp powered by batteries, which is turned on prior to Shabbat.", "Many observant Karaites either unplug their refrigerators on Shabbat or turn off the circuit breakers.", "Karaites consider producing electricity to be a violation of Shabbat, no matter who produces it.", "Additionally, some Karaites view the purchasing of electricity that is charged on an incremental basis during the Shabbat as a commercial transaction that the Tanakh prohibits, no matter when the payment is made; the recording of the electric meter is considered by them to be a commercial transaction.", "Karaites maintain that in the absence of a Temple, ordinary washing with flowing waters (described in the Torah as \"living\"—flowing—water) should be substituted for purification with water that includes ashes obtained through the red heifer burning ritual.", "Karaites believe that this was the practice before the Tabernacle was built in the Sinai Peninsula following the Exodus.", "They follow certain Torah laws for avoiding \"Ṭum’at Met\" (ritual impurity caused by contact with a dead body, human bones, graves, or being present in a space under any ceiling where a human died) which are no longer considered relevant in Rabbinic Judaism, except for Kohanim (members of the Jewish priestly class).", "The Karaite method of counting the days from the offering of the ‘Omer is different from the rabbinic method.", "The Karaites understand the term \"morrow after the Sabbath\" in Leviticus 23:15–16 to refer to the weekly Sabbath, whereas Rabbinic Judaism interprets it as referring to the day of rest on the first day of Ḥagh HaMaṣṣot.", "So while Rabbinic Judaism begins the count on the 16th of Nisan and celebrates Shavu‘ot on the 6th of Sivan, Karaite Jews count from the day after the weekly Sabbath (i.e., the Sunday) that occurs during the seven days of Ḥagh HaMaṣṣot to the day after the seventh weekly Sabbath.", "They celebrate Shavu‘ot on that Sunday, no matter what the calendar date of that Sunday on which it happens to fall.", "A Tzitzit (alternatively spelled Ṣiṣit, plural: Tzitziyot or Ṣiṣiyot) is a knotted or braided tassel worn by observant Jews (both Karaite and Rabbinic) on each of the four corners of what is often an outer garment or their Tallit.", "The Torah commands Israel to make tassels on the corners of their four-cornered garment containing a thread of \"Tekhelet\" (Numbers ) and repeats this commandment using the word for \"twisted cords\" (\"Gedilim\") instead of \"tassels\" at Deuteronomy .", "The purpose of the tassels is stated in the Book of Numbers as a visual reminder to the Israelites to remember the commandments given by God.", "The thread of Tekhelet is a blue-violet or blue thread, which, according to the traditions of Rabbinic Judaism, is to be dyed with a specific kind of dye derived from a mollusc (notably the \"Hexaplex trunculus\" sea snail).", "Due to a number of factors, including Rome outlawing the use of Tekhelet by commoners, the source and practice of using a Tekhelet thread in Tzitzit was lost for most Rabbinic Jews.", "Their Tzitziyot are usually all white.", "Karaite Jews believe that the importance of Tekhelet is that the color of thread is blue-violet and it may be produced from any source, including synthetic industrial dyes, except impure (a state mostly overlapping unkosher) marine creatures, rather than insist on a specific dye.", "Therefore, they believe that the rabbinic tradition of relying on a dye from a mollusc is incorrect.", "They suggest that the source of the dye was indigo or \"Isatis tinctoria\".", "Rabbinic Jews have specific traditions on how the tassels are to be knotted.", "Karaite Jews, for their part, have certain traditions on the manner of braiding the tassels, although they are not binding.", "Consequently, the way the \"Tzitziyot\" are made usually distinguishes Karaite \"Tzitziyot\" from rabbinic \"Tzitziyot\".", "Karaite Jews do not wear tefillin in any form.", "According to Karaites, the Biblical passages cited for this practice are metaphorical, and mean to \"remember the Torah always and treasure it\".", "This is because the commandment in scripture is \"And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart\"... \"And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for forehead ornaments between thine eyes\".", "(Deuteronomy 6:5,9) Since words cannot be on one's heart, or bound on one's hand, the entire passage is understood metaphorically.", "Furthermore, the same expressions (\"And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand\" as well as \"and they shall be as frontal ornaments between thine eyes\") are used in Exodus 13:9 in reference to the commandments of Ḥagh HaMaṣṣot, in Exodus 13:16 in reference to the ritual of redeeming the first born, in Deuteronomy 6:8 in reference to the ‘Aseret HaDevarim (the Ten Utterances, usually mistranslated as \"the Ten Commandments\"), and in Deuteronomy 11:18 in reference to all the words of the Torah, indicating that, from a Karaite perspective, they must be metaphorical in nature (because one could never ritually \"write\" and \"bind\" upon their hearts themselves).", "Like Tefillin, Karaites interpret the scripture that mandates inscribing the Law on doorposts and city gates as a metaphorical admonition, specifically, to keep the Law at home and away.", "This is because the previous commandment in the same passage is the source for Tefillin for Rabbinic Judaism, and is understood metaphorically due to the language.", "As a result, the entire passage is understood as a metaphor.", "Therefore, they do not put up mezuzot, although many Karaite Jews do have a small plaque with the Ten Commandments on their doorposts.", "However, a Christian account in the 19th century tells of a Karaite synagogue in Constantinople that reportedly had a mezuzah.", "In Israel, in an effort to make Rabbinic Jews comfortable, many Karaite Jews do put up mezuzot, but not out of belief that it is commanded.", "In both Deuteronomy 23:3, and Zechariah 9:6, the Hebrew word \"mamzer\" is referenced alongside the nations of Ammon and Moab (in Deut 23:3), and the Philistine cities of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron and Ashdod (in Zech 9:5–6).", "From such, Karaites have come to consider the most logical understanding of the Hebrew word \"mamzer\", which modern Rabbinical Jews understand to refer to either children born from adultery or from incest (Talmud Bavli, Masekhet Yevamot), to actually speak of a nation or people.", "Karaites think that such an understanding fits perfectly into the context of both Deuteronomy 23 and Zechariah 9, (and this was also the understanding of the Rabbinist commentator Yehudah ben Shemu’el ibn Bil‘am).", "Several Medieval Rabbinite Jewish sages felt it necessary to debate this topic with Medieval Karaite Jewish sages.", "Karaite Judaism defines the Four species (\"Arba`at haMinim\") somewhat differently than Rabbinic Jews, i.e. (1) fruit of splendorous tree (\"Peri `Eṣ Hadar\"), which need not be the Etrog (yellow citrus fruit) demanded by rabbinic law, yet may be either any seasonal fruit tree considered splendorous by an individual Jew, or branches of olive trees featuring the olives, that were considered splendorous by the Judean Israelites in the generation of Nehemiah, as seen in Neḥemyah 8; (2) date palm fronds (\"Kappoth Temarim\") instead of the closed palm frond used by Rabbinic Jews; (3) branches of thickly leaved trees (\"‘Eṣ ‘Avoth\") which may be from fig, laurel and eucalyptus rather than myrtle branches only; and (4) willow branches (\"‘Aravoth Naḥal\") e.g. maple, oak, yew and butternut, as opposed to the rabbinically dictated willow tree's boughs.", "Karaite Jews have always understood the \"Arba`at haMinim\" to be used for the purpose of constructing the roof of the Sukkah (pl.", "\"Sukkot\"); they are not made into a \"lulav\" and shaken in six directions, as is the rabbinic practice.", "In the Book of Nehemiah (8:15), the Israelites are instructed to construct their Sukkot out of the four species: olive branches and oil tree branches (fruit of splendorous tree), as well as date palm fronds, myrtle branches and branches of thickly leaved trees are mentioned in the same passage as materials for the Sukkah's construction.", "Karaite Judaism follows patrilineal descent, meaning a Jew is someone whose father is Jewish, or who has undergone a formal conversion, since almost all Jewish descent in the Tanakh is traced patrilineally.", "However, anyone who formally accepts the God of Israel as their own God, the people of Israel as their own people, and is circumcised (males only), is a fully established member of the people of Israel (Jew); Karaites believe this should be done after living among Karaite Jews and studying the Tanakh in the form of a vow (the dominant position among modern Karaites maintains that this oath should be taken before a Karaite Beit Din whose members act on the behalf of the Israeli Council of Sages), see Exodus 12:43–49, Ruth 1:16, Esther 8:17, and Isaiah 56:6–7; also Ezekiel the prophet states that Sojourners (\"resident aliens\" or \"strangers\") who have joined themselves to the Children of Israel will be given land inheritance among the Tribes of Israel among whom they live during the final redemption.", "Some, such as the Karaites Jews in Khorasan (Persia) viewed it in Medieval times as a Mitzvah to do so because the name appears some 6800 times throughout the Tanakh (the Jewish Bible).", "Today, publicly uttering the Tetragrammaton (4 letter name) of God in Hebrew is a controversial issue among Karaites and indeed all Jews.", "Virtually all traditional Karaites view the pronunciation of God's name to be blasphemous, and adhere to the rabbinic tradition of substituting \"Adonai\", when coming across YHWH while reading.", "Other Karaites and some of those coming from a rabbinic background like Nehemia Gordon and Ḥakham Meir Rekhavi, as well as some joiners to the people of Israel through Karaite Judaism such as James Walker and Daniel ben Immanuel, do not consider the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton to be forbidden.", "There is, however, disagreement among scholars as to the correct pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton.", "Karaism has produced a vast library of commentaries and polemics, especially during its \"Golden Age\".", "These writings prompted new and complete defenses of the Mishnah and the Talmud, the culmination of these in the writings of Saadia Gaon and his criticisms of Karaism.", "Though he opposed Karaism, the rabbinic commentator Abraham ibn Ezra regularly quoted Karaite commentators, particularly Yefet ben Ali, to the degree that a legend exists among some Karaites that Ibn Ezra was ben Ali's student.", "The most well-known Karaite polemic is Yiṣḥaq ben Avraham of Troki's \"Faith Strengthened\" , a comprehensive counter-Christian missionary polemic, which was later translated into Latin by Johann Christoph Wagenseil as part of a larger collection of Jewish anti-Christian polemics entitled \"Tela Ignea Satanæ, sive Arcani et Horribiles Judæorum Adversus Christum, Deum, et Christianam Religionem Libri\" (Altdorf, 1681: \"The Fiery Darts of Satan, or the Arcane and Horrible Books of the Jews Against Christ, God, and the Christian Religion\").", "Many counter-missionary materials produced today are based upon or cover the same themes as this book.", "Scholarly studies of Karaite writings are still in their infancy, and owe greatly to the Firkovich collections of Karaite manuscripts in the National Library of Russia that have become accessible after the collapse of the Soviet Union.",

linguistic background of vocalization for the first time.", "He had a tremendous influence on the world of Biblical criticism.", "In the nineteenth century, certain scholars suggested that Aharon Ben Asher might have been a Karaite and not a Rabbinic Jew.", "Aharon Dothan has examined this issue from many angles, and his conclusion is that Ben Asher was a Rabbinic Jew, but Raphael Zer has raised this issue again and presented new evidence.", "In 989, an unknown scribe of a former \"Nevi'im\" manuscript vouched for the care with which his copy was written by claiming that he had vocalized and added the Masoretic text \"from the books that were vocalized by Aaron ben Moses Ben-Asher\".", "Maimonides, by accepting the views of ben Asher in regard to open and closed sections, helped establish

the divine authority of the Oral Torah are to be considered among the heretics.", "However, at the same time, Maimonides holds (\"Hilkhot Mamrim\" 3:3) that most of the Karaites and others who claim to deny the \"oral teachings\" are not to be held accountable for their errors in the law because they are led into error by their parents and are similar to a tinok shenishba (a captive baby), or to one who was forced.", "Rabbinic scholars have traditionally held that, because the Karaites do not observe the rabbinic law on divorce, there is a strong presumption that they are mamzerim (adulterine bastards), so that marriage with them is forbidden even if they return to Rabbinic Judaism.", "Some recent Ashkenazi Ḥaredi scholars have held that Karaites should be regarded as Gentiles in all

that not all of the Oral Law are literally \"Laws given to Moses on Mount Sinai\".", "The decisions made by this High Court must be upheld, per se the Law of Moses (Deuteronomy 17), this gives their

understand it, that we do it?\"", "indicating the Torah could easily be understood by the average Israelite.", "Orthodox Judaism also notes that the Torah was never meant to be observed as a personal covenant between the individual Jew and God, but a national covenant wherein the Torah functions as the constitution of Israel as a whole.", "Orthodox Jews point out that the Torah could never be enforced as a national law, as it was during the time of Joshua, King David, and Ezra, if every individual Jew had their own opinion on how to observe its commandments.", "In order for the Torah to properly govern the Jewish people, and for its laws be legally enforced with the punishments and penalties prescribed in the Torah, those laws must be legislated and clearly defined by a ruling Sanhedrin.", "Karaites counter that the enforcement of the Torah on a national scale can only be legislated by the descendants of Zadok in the Temple in Jerusalem as per the Torah (Deuteronomy 17) and

June 2003) signed by the president on 3 April 1995.", "The FSB reforms were rounded out by decree No. 633, signed by Boris Yeltsin on 23 June 1995.", "The decree made the tasks of the FSB more specific, giving the FSB substantial rights to conduct cryptographic work, and described the powers of the FSB director.", "The number of deputy directors was increased to 8: 2 first deputies, 5 deputies responsible for departments and directorates and 1 deputy director heading the Moscow City and Moscow regional directorate.", "Yeltsin appointed Colonel-General Mikhail Ivanovich Barsukov as the new director of the FSB.", "In 1998 Yeltsin appointed Vladimir Putin, a KGB veteran who would later succeed Yeltsin as federal president, as director of the FSB.", "Putin was reluctant to take over the directorship, but once appointed conducted a thorough reorganization, which included the dismissal of most of the FSB's top personnel.", "Putin appointed Nikolai Patrushev as the head of FSB in 1999.", "After the main military offensive of the Second Chechen War ended and the separatists changed tactics to guerilla warfare, overall command of the federal forces in Chechnya was transferred from the military to the FSB in January 2001.", "While the army lacked technical means of tracking the guerrilla groups, the FSB suffered from insufficient human intelligence due to its inability to build networks of agents and informants.", "In the autumn of 2002, the separatists launched a massive campaign of terrorism against the Russian civilians, including the Dubrovka theatre attack.", "The inability of the federal forces to conduct efficient counter-terrorist operations led to the government to transfer the responsibility of \"maintaining order\" in Chechnya from the FSB to the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) in July 2003.", "After becoming President, Vladimir Putin launched a major reorganization of the FSB.", "First, the FSB was placed under direct control of the President by a decree issued on 17 May 2000.", "The internal structure of the agency was reformed by a decree signed on 17 June 2000.", "In the resulting structure, the FSB was to have a director, a first deputy director and nine other deputy directors, including one possible state secretary and the chiefs of six departments: Economic Security Department, Counterintelligence Department, Organizational and Personnel Service, Department of activity provision, Department for Analysis, Forecasting and Strategic Planning, Department for Protection of the Constitutional System and the Fight against Terrorism.", "In 2003, the agency's responsibilities were considerably widened.", "The Border Guard Service of Russia, with its staff of 210,000, was integrated to the FSB via a decree was signed on 11 March 2003.", "The merger was completed by 1 July 2003.", "In addition, The Federal Agency of Government Communication and Information (FAPSI) was abolished, and the FSB was granted a major part of its functions, while other parts went to the Ministry of Defense.", "Among the reasons for this strengthening of the FSB were the enhanced need for security after increased terror attacks against Russian civilians starting with the Moscow theater hostage crisis; the need to end the permanent infighting between the FSB, FAPSI and the Border Guards due to their overlapping functions; and the need for more efficient response to migration, drug trafficking and illegal arms trading.", "It has also been pointed out that the FSB was the only power base of the new president, and the restructuring therefore strengthened Putin's position (see Political groups under Vladimir Putin's presidency).", "On 28 June 2004 in a speech to high-ranking FSB officers, Putin emphasized three major tasks of the agency: neutralizing foreign espionage, safeguarding economic and financial security of the country and combating organized crime.", "In September 2006, the FSB was shaken by a major reshuffle, which, combined with some earlier reassignments (most remarkably, those of FSB Deputy Directors Yury Zaostrovtsev and Vladimir Anisimov in 2004 and 2005, respectively), were widely believed to be linked to the Three Whales Corruption Scandal that had slowly unfolded since 2000.", "Some analysts considered it to be an attempt to undermine FSB Director Nikolay Patrushev's influence, as it was Patrushev's team from the Karelian KGB Directorate of the late 1980s – early 1990s that had suffered most and he had been on vacations during the event.", "By 2008, the agency had one Director, two First Deputy Directors and 5 Deputy Directors.", "According to FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov, the FSB is developing its own unmanned aerial vehicle systems in order to gather intelligence.", "Starting from the Moscow theater hostage crisis in 2002, Russia was faced with increased levels of Islamist terrorism.", "The FSB, being the main agency responsible for counter-terrorist operations, was in the front line in the fight against terror.", "During the Moscow theater siege and the Beslan school siege, FSB's Spetsnaz units Alpha Group and Vympel played a key role in the hostage release operations.", "However, their performance was criticised due to the high number of hostage casualties.", "In 2006, the FSB scored a major success in its counter-terrorist efforts when it successfully killed Shamil Basayev, the mastermind behind the Beslan tragedy and several other high-profile terrorist acts.", "According to the FSB, the operation was planned over six months and made possible due to the FSB's increased activities in foreign countries that were supplying arms to the terrorists.", "Basayev was tracked via the surveillance of this arms trafficking.", "Basayev and other militants were preparing to carry out a terrorist attack in Ingushetia when FSB agents destroyed their convoy; 12 militants were killed.", "During the last years of the Vladimir Putin's second presidency (2006–2008), terrorist attacks in Russia dwindled, falling from 257 in 2005 to 48 in 2007.", "Military analyst Vitaly Shlykov praised the effectiveness of Russia's security agencies, saying that the experience learned in Chechnya and Dagestan had been key to the success.", "In 2008, the American Carnegie Endowment's Foreign Policy magazine named Russia as \"the worst place to be a terrorist\" and highlighted especially Russia's willingness to prioritize national security over civil rights.", "By 2010, Russian forces, led by the FSB, had managed to eliminate out the top leadership of the Chechen insurgency, except for Dokka Umarov.", "Starting from 2009, the level of terrorism in Russia increased again.", "Particularly worrisome was the increase of suicide attacks.", "While between February 2005 and August 2008, no civilians were killed in such attacks, in 2008 at least 17 were killed and in 2009 the number rose to 45.", "In March 2010, Islamist militants organised the 2010 Moscow Metro bombings, which killed 40 people.", "One of the two blasts took place at Lubyanka station, near the FSB headquarters.", "Militant leader Doku Umarov—dubbed \"Russia's Osama Bin Laden\"—took responsibility for the attacks.", "In July 2010, President Dmitry Medvedev expanded the FSB's powers in its fight against terrorism.", "FSB officers received the power to issue warnings to citizens on actions that could lead to committing crimes and arrest people for 15 days if they fail to comply with legitimate orders given by the officers.", "The bill was harshly criticized by human rights organizations.", "In 2011, the FSB said it had exposed 199 foreign spies, including 41 professional spies and 158 agents employed by foreign intelligence services.", "The number has risen in recent years: in 2006 the FSB reportedly caught about 27 foreign intelligence officers and 89 foreign agents.", "Comparing the number of exposed spies historically, the then-FSB Director Nikolay Kovalyov said in 1996: \"There has never been such a number of spies arrested by us since the time when German agents were sent in during the years of World War II.\"", "The 2011 figure is similar to what was reported in 1995–1996, when around 400 foreign intelligence agents were uncovered during the two-year period.", "In a high-profile case of foreign espionage, the FSB said in February 2012 that an engineer working at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russia's main space center for military launches, had been sentenced to 13 years in prison on charges of state treason.", "A court judged that the engineer had sold information about testing of new Russian strategic missile systems to the American CIA.", "A number of scientists have been accused of

Oskar Kaibyshev, and physicist Yury Ryzhov.", "Ecologist and journalist Alexander Nikitin, who worked with the Bellona Foundation, was accused of espionage.", "He published material exposing hazards posed by the Russian Navy's nuclear fleet.", "He was acquitted in 1999 after spending several years in prison (his case was sent for re-investigation 13 times while he remained in prison).", "Other instances of prosecution are the cases of investigative journalist and ecologist Grigory Pasko, Vladimir Petrenko, who described danger posed by military chemical warfare stockpiles, and Nikolay Shchur, chairman of the Snezhinskiy Ecological Fund.", "Other arrested people include Viktor Orekhov, a former KGB officer who assisted Soviet dissidents, Vladimir Kazantsev, who disclosed illegal purchases of eavesdropping devices from foreign firms, and Vil Mirzayanov, who had written that Russia was working on a nerve-gas weapon.", "In 2011, the FSB prevented 94 \"crimes of a terrorist nature\", including eight terrorist attacks.", "In particular, the agency foiled a planned suicide bombing in Moscow on New Year's Eve.", "However, the agency failed to prevent terrorists perpetrating the Domodedovo International Airport bombing.", "Over the years, FSB and affiliated state security organizations have killed all presidents of the separatist Chechen Republic of Ichkeria including Dzhokhar Dudaev, Zelimkhan Yandarbiev, Aslan Maskhadov, and Abdul-Khalim Saidullaev.", "Just before his death, Saidullaev claimed that the Russian government \"treacherously\" killed Maskhadov, after

nuclear technology and materials.", "The FSB has been accused by \"The Guardian\" of using psychological techniques to intimidate western diplomatic staff and journalists, with the intention of making them curtail their work in Russia early.", "The techniques allegedly involve entering targets' houses, moving household items around, replacing items with similar (but slightly different) items, and

chosen for its high elevation and low humidity, factors which are crucial to reduce noise and decrease signal attenuation due to Earth's atmosphere.", "ALMA is expected to provide insight on star birth during the early Stelliferous era and detailed imaging of local star and planet formation.", "ALMA is an international partnership among Europe, the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Chile.", "Costing about US$1.4 billion, it is the most expensive ground-based telescope in operation.", "ALMA began scientific observations in the second half of 2011 and the first images

or existing interferometer networks such as the Submillimeter Array or the \"Institut de Radio Astronomie Millimétrique\" (IRAM) Plateau de Bure facility.", "The antennas can be moved across the desert plateau over distances from 150 m to 16 km, which will give ALMA a powerful variable \"zoom\", similar in its concept to that employed at the centimetre-wavelength Very Large Array (VLA) site in New Mexico, United States.", "The high sensitivity is mainly achieved through the large numbers of antenna dishes that will make up the array.", "The telescopes were provided by the European, North American and East Asian partners of ALMA.", "The American and European partners each provided twenty-five 12-meter diameter antennas, that compose the main array.", "The participating East Asian countries are contributing 16 antennas (four 12-meter diameter and twelve 7-meter diameter antennas) in the form of the Atacama Compact Array (ACA), which is part of the enhanced ALMA.", "By using smaller antennas than the main ALMA array, larger fields of view can be imaged at a given frequency using ACA.", "Placing the antennas closer together enables the imaging of sources of larger angular extent.", "The ACA works together with the main array in order to enhance the latter's wide-field imaging capability.", "ALMA has its conceptual roots in three astronomical projects — the Millimeter Array (MMA) of the United States, the Large Southern Array (LSA) of Europe, and the Large Millimeter Array (LMA) of Japan.", "The first step toward the creation of what would become ALMA came in 1997, when the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and the European Southern Observatory (ESO) agreed to pursue a common project that merged the MMA and LSA.", "The merged array combined the sensitivity of the LSA with the frequency coverage and superior site of the MMA.", "ESO and NRAO worked together in technical, science, and management groups to define and organize a joint project between the two observatories with participation by Canada and Spain (the latter became a member of ESO later).", "A series of resolutions and agreements led to the choice of \"Atacama Large

\"soul\" in Spanish and \"learned\" or \"knowledgeable\" in Arabic.)", "Following mutual discussions over several years, the ALMA Project received a proposal from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) whereby Japan would provide the ACA (Atacama Compact Array) and three additional receiver bands for the large array, to form Enhanced ALMA.", "Further discussions between ALMA and NAOJ led to the signing of a high-level agreement on 14 September 2004 that makes Japan an official participant in Enhanced ALMA, to be known as the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array.", "A groundbreaking ceremony was held on November 6, 2003 and the ALMA logo was unveiled.", "During an early stage of the planning of ALMA, it was decided to employ ALMA antennas designed and constructed by known companies in North America, Europe, and Japan, rather than using one single design.", "This was mainly for political reasons.", "Although very different approaches have been chosen by the providers, each of the antenna designs appears to be able to meet ALMA's stringent requirements.", "The components designed and manufactured across Europe were transported by specialist aerospace and astrospace logistics company Route To Space Alliance, 26 in total which were delivered to Antwerp for onward shipment to Chile.", "ALMA was initially a 50-50 collaboration between the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and European Southern Observatory (ESO) and later extended with the help of the other Japanese, Taiwanese, and Chilean partners.", "ALMA is the largest and most expensive ground-based astronomical project, costing between US$1.4 and 1.5 billion.", "(However, various space astronomy projects including Hubble Space Telescope, JWST, and several major planet probes have cost considerably more).", "The complex was built primarily by European, U.S., Japanese, and Canadian companies and universities.", "Three prototype antennas have undergone evaluation at the Very Large Array since 2002.", "General Dynamics C4 Systems and its SATCOM Technologies division was contracted by Associated Universities, Inc. to provide twenty-five of the 12 m antennas, while European manufacturer Thales Alenia Space provided the other twenty-five principal antennas (in the largest-ever European industrial contract in ground-based astronomy).", "The first antenna was delivered in 2008, the last in 2011.", "Transporting the 115 tonne antennas from the Operations Support Facility at 2900 m altitude to the site at 5000 m, or moving antennas around the site to change the array size, presents enormous challenges; as portrayed in the television documentary \"Monster Moves: Mountain Mission\".", "The solution chosen is to use two custom 28-wheel self-loading heavy haulers.",

a driver's seat designed to accommodate an oxygen tank to aid breathing the thin high-altitude air, place the antennas precisely on the pads.", "The first vehicle was completed and tested in July 2007.", "Both transporters were delivered to the ALMA Operations Support Facility (OSF) in Chile on 15 February 2008.", "On 7 July 2008, an ALMA transporter moved an antenna for the first time, from inside the antenna assembly building (Site Erection Facility) to a pad outside the building for testing (holographic surface measurements).", "During Autumn 2009, the first three antennas were transported one-by-one to the Array Operations Site.", "At the end of 2009, a team of ALMA astronomers and engineers successfully linked three antennas at the 5000 m elevation observing site thus finishing the first stage of assembly and integration of the fledgling array.", "Linking three antennas allows corrections of errors that can arise when only two antennas are used, thus paving the way for precise, high-resolution imaging.", "With this key step, commissioning of the instrument began 22 January 2010.", "On 28 July 2011, the first European antenna for ALMA arrived at the Chajnantor plateau, 5,000 meters above sea level, to join 15 antennas already in place from the other international partners.", "This was the number of antennas specified for ALMA to begin its first science observations, and was therefore an important milestone for the project.", "In October 2012, 43 of the 66 antennas had been set up.", "By the summer of 2011, sufficient telescopes were operational during the extensive program of testing prior to the Early Science phase for the first images to be captured.", "These early images give a first glimpse of the potential of the new array that will produce much better quality images in the future as the scale of the array continues to increase.", "The target of the observation was a pair of colliding galaxies with dramatically distorted shapes, known as the Antennae Galaxies.", "Although ALMA did not observe the entire galaxy merger, the result is the best submillimeter-wavelength image ever made of the Antennae Galaxies, showing the clouds of dense cold gas from which new stars form, which cannot be seen using visible light.", "On 11 August 2014, astronomers released studies, using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) for the first time, that detailed the distribution of HCN, HNC, HCO, and dust inside the comae of comets C/2012 F6 (Lemmon) and C/2012 S1 (ISON).", "An image of the protoplanetary disk surrounding HL Tauri (a very young T Tauri star in the constellation Taurus) was made public in 2014, showing a series of concentric bright rings separated by gaps, indicating protoplanet formation.", "s of 2014 , most theories did not expect planetary formation in such a young (100,000-1,000,000-year-old) system, so the new data spurred renewed theories of protoplanetary development.", "One theory suggests that the faster accretion rate might be due to the complex magnetic field of the protoplanetary disk.", "ALMA participated in the Event Horizon Telescope project, which produced the first direct image of a black hole.", "The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international astronomy facility, is a partnership of Europe, North America and East Asia in cooperation with the Republic of Chile.", "ALMA is funded in Europe by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), in North America by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) in cooperation with the National Research

communities of the major contributors of the ALMA project and the JAO.", "Activates for operating the ARC have also divided into the three main regions involved (Europe, North America and East Asia).", "The European ARC (led by ESO) has been further subdivided into ARC-nodes located across Europe in Bonn-Bochum-Cologne, Bologna, Ondřejov, Onsala, IRAM (Grenoble), Leiden and JBCA (Manchester).", "The core purpose of the ARC is to assist the user community with the preparation of observing proposals, ensure observing programs meet their scientific goals efficiently, run a help-desk for submitting proposals and observing programs, delivering the data to principal investigators, maintenance of the ALMA data archive, assistance with the calibration of data and providing user feedback.", "The Atacama Compact Array, ACA, is a subset of 16 closely separated antennas that will greatly improve ALMA's ability to study celestial objects with a large angular size, such as molecular clouds and nearby galaxies.", "The antennas forming the Atacama Compact Array, four 12-meter antennas and twelve 7-meter antennas, were produced and delivered by Japan.", "In 2013, the Atacama Compact Array was named the Morita Array after Professor Koh-ichiro Morita, a member of the Japanese ALMA team and designer of the ACA, who died on 7 May 2012 in Santiago.", "In August 2013, workers at the telescope went on strike to demand better pay and working conditions.", "This is one of the first strikes to affect an astronomical observatory.", "The work stoppage began after the observatory failed to reach an agreement with the workers' union.", "After 17 days an agreement was reached providing for reduced schedules and higher pay for work done at high altitude." ] } }

families of Eurasia, although its exact composition and structure vary among proponents.", "It typically comprises Kartvelian, Indo-European, and Uralic languages; some languages from the disputed Altaic family; the Afroasiatic languages spoken in North Africa, the Horn of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and the Near East; and the Dravidian languages of the Indian Subcontinent (sometimes also Elamo-Dravidian, which connects India and the Iranian Plateau).", "The hypothetical ancestral language of the Nostratic family is called Proto-Nostratic.", "Proto-Nostratic would have been spoken between 15,000 and 12,000 BCE, in the Epipaleolithic period, close to the end of the last glacial period.", "The Nostratic hypothesis originates with Holger Pedersen in the early 20th century.", "The name \"Nostratic\" is due to Pedersen (1903), derived from the Latin \"nostrates\" \"fellow countrymen\".", "The hypothesis was significantly expanded in the 1960s by Soviet linguists, notably Vladislav Illich-Svitych and Aharon Dolgopolsky, termed the \"Moscovite school\" by Allan Bomhard (2008, 2011, and 2014), and it has received renewed attention in English-speaking academia since the 1990s.", "The hypothesis is controversial and has varying degrees of acceptance amongst linguists worldwide with most rejecting Nostratic and other macrofamily hypotheses.", "In Russia, it is endorsed by a minority of linguists, such as Vladimir Dybo, but is not a generally accepted hypothesis.", "Allan Bomhard is a supporter, Lyle Campbell a critic.", "Some linguists take an agnostic view.", "Eurasiatic, a similar grouping, was proposed by Joseph Greenberg (2000) and endorsed by Merritt Ruhlen: it is taken as a subfamily of Nostratic by Bomhard (2008).", "The last quarter of the 19th century saw various linguists putting forward proposals linking the Indo-European languages to other language families, such as Finno-Ugric and Altaic.", "These proposals were taken much further in 1903 when Holger Pedersen proposed \"Nostratic\", a common ancestor for the Indo-European, Finno-Ugric, Samoyed, Turkish, Mongolian, Manchu, Yukaghir, Eskimo, Semitic, and Hamitic languages, with the door left open to the eventual inclusion of others.", "The name \"Nostratic\" derives from the Latin word \"nostrās\", meaning 'our fellow-countryman' (plural: \"nostrates\") and has been defined, since Pedersen, as consisting of those language families that are related to Indo-European.", "Merritt Ruhlen notes that this definition is not properly taxonomic but amorphous, since there are broader and narrower degrees of relatedness, and moreover, some linguists who broadly accept the concept (such as Greenberg and Ruhlen himself) have criticised the name as reflecting the ethnocentrism frequent among Europeans at the time.", "Martin Bernal has described the term as distasteful because it implies that speakers of other language families are excluded from academic discussion.", "Even so, the concept arguably transcends ethnocentric associations.", "(Indeed, Pedersen's older contemporary Henry Sweet attributed some of the resistance by Indo-European specialists to hypotheses of wider genetic relationships as \"prejudice against dethroning Indo-European from its proud isolation and affiliating it to the languages of yellow races\".)", "Proposed alternative names such as \"Mitian\", formed from the characteristic Nostratic first- and second-person pronouns \"mi\" 'I' and \"ti\" 'you' (exactly 'thee'), have not attained the same currency.", "An early supporter was the French linguist Albert Cuny—better known for his role in the development of the laryngeal theory—who published his \"Recherches sur le vocalisme, le consonantisme et la formation des racines en « nostratique », ancêtre de l'indo-européen et du chamito-sémitique\" ('Researches on the Vocalism, Consonantism, and Formation of Roots in \"Nostratic\", Ancestor of Indo-European and Hamito-Semitic') in 1943.", "Although Cuny enjoyed a high reputation as a linguist, the work was coldly received.", "While Pedersen's Nostratic hypothesis did not make much headway in the West, it became quite popular in what was then the Soviet Union.", "Working independently at first, Vladislav Illich-Svitych and Aharon Dolgopolsky elaborated the first version of the contemporary form of the hypothesis during the 1960s.", "They expanded it to include additional language families.", "Illich-Svitych also prepared the first dictionary of the hypothetical language.", "A principal source for the items in Illich-Svitych's dictionary was the earlier work of Alfredo Trombetti (1866–1929), an Italian linguist who had developed a classification scheme for all the world's languages, widely reviled at the time and subsequently ignored by almost all linguists.", "In Trombetti's time, a widely held view on classifying languages was that similarity in inflections is the surest proof of genetic relationship.", "In the interim, the view had taken hold that the comparative method—previously used as a means of studying languages already known to be related and without any thought of classification—is the most effective means to establish genetic relationship, eventually hardening into the conviction that it is the only legitimate means to do so.", "This view was basic to the outlook of the new Nostraticists.", "Although Illich-Svitych adopted many of Trombetti's etymologies, he sought to validate them by a systematic comparison of the sound systems of the languages concerned.", "The chief events in Nostratic studies in 2008 were the posting online of the latest version of Dolgopolsky's \"Nostratic Dictionary\" and the publication of Allan Bomhard's comprehensive treatment of the subject, \"Reconstructing Proto-Nostratic\", in 2 volumes.", "2008 also saw the opening of a website, \"Nostratica\", devoted to providing important texts in Nostratic studies online, which is now offline.", "Also significant was Bomhard's partly critical review of Dolgopolsky's dictionary, in which he argued that only those Nostratic etymologies that are strongest should be included, in contrast to Dolgopolsky's more expansive approach, which includes many etymologies that are possible but not secure.", "In early 2014, Allan Bomhard published his latest monograph on Nostratic, \"A Comprehensive Introduction to Nostratic Comparative Linguistics\".", "The language families proposed for inclusion in Nostratic vary, but all Nostraticists agree on a common core of language families, with differences of opinion appearing over the inclusion of additional families.", "The three groups universally accepted among Nostraticists are Indo-European, Uralic, and Altaic; the validity of the Altaic family, while itself controversial, is taken for granted by Nostraticists.", "Nearly all also include the Kartvelian and Dravidian language families.", "Following Pedersen, Illich-Svitych, and Dolgopolsky, most advocates of the theory have included Afroasiatic, though criticisms by Joseph Greenberg and others from the late 1980s onward suggested a reassessment of this position.", "The Sumerian and Etruscan languages, usually regarded as language isolates, are thought by some to be Nostratic languages as well.", "Others, however, consider one or both to be members of another macrofamily called Dené–Caucasian.", "Another notional isolate, the Elamite language, also figures in a number of Nostratic classifications.", "It is frequently grouped with Dravidian as Elamo-Dravidian.", "In 1987 Joseph Greenberg proposed a similar macrofamily which he called Eurasiatic.", "It included the same \"Euraltaic\" core (Indo-European, Uralic, and Altaic), but excluded some of the above-listed families, most notably Afroasiatic.", "At about this time Russian Nostraticists, notably Sergei Starostin, constructed a revised version of Nostratic which was slightly broader than Greenberg's grouping but which similarly left out Afroasiatic.", "Beginning in the early 2000s, a consensus emerged among proponents of the Nostratic hypothesis.", "Greenberg basically agreed with the Nostratic concept, though he stressed a deep internal division between its northern 'tier' (his Eurasiatic) and a southern 'tier' (principally Afroasiatic and Dravidian).", "The American Nostraticist Allan Bomhard considers Eurasiatic a branch of Nostratic alongside other branches: Kartvelian, Afroasiatic, and Elamo-Dravidian.", "Similarly, Georgiy Starostin (2002) arrives at a tripartite overall grouping: he considers Afroasiatic, Nostratic and Elamite to be roughly equidistant and more closely related to each other than to anything else.", "Sergei Starostin's school has now re-included Afroasiatic in a broadly defined Nostratic, while reserving the term Eurasiatic to designate the narrower subgrouping which comprises the rest of the macrofamily.", "Recent proposals thus differ mainly on the precise placement of Kartvelian and Dravidian.", "According to Greenberg, Eurasiatic and Amerind form a genetic node, being more closely related to each other than either is to \"the other families of the Old World\".", "There are a number of hypotheses incorporating Nostratic into an even broader linguistic 'mega-phylum', sometimes called Borean, which would also include at least the Dené–Caucasian and perhaps the Amerind and Austric superfamilies.", "The term SCAN has been used for a group that would include Sino-Caucasian, Amerind, and Nostratic.", "Allan Bomhard and Colin Renfrew are in broad agreement with the earlier conclusions of Illich-Svitych and Dolgopolsky in seeking the Nostratic Urheimat (original homeland) within the Mesolithic (or Epipaleolithic) in the Fertile Crescent, the stage which directly preceded the Neolithic and was transitional to it.", "Looking at the cultural assemblages of this period, two sequences in particular stand out as possible archeological correlates of the earliest Nostratians or their immediate precursors.", "Both hypotheses place Proto-Nostratic within the Fertile Crescent at around the end of the last glacial period.", "It has been proposed that the broad spectrum revolution of Kent Flannery (1969), associated with microliths, the use of the bow and arrow, and the domestication of the dog, all of which are associated with these cultures, might have been the cultural \"motor\" that led to their expansion.", "Certainly cultures which appeared at Franchthi Cave in the Aegean and Lepenski Vir in the Balkans, and the Murzak-Koba (9100–8000 BC) and Grebenki (8500–7000 BC) cultures of the Ukrainian steppe, all displayed these adaptations.", "Bomhard (2008) suggests a differentiation of Proto-Nostratic by 8,000 BCE, the beginning of the Neolithic Revolution in the Levant, over a territory spanning the entire Fertile Crescent and beyond into the Caucasus (Proto-Kartvelian), Egypt and along the Red Sea to the Horn of Africa (Proto-Afroasiatic), the Iranian Plateau (Proto-Elamo-Dravidian) and into Central Asia (Proto-Eurasiatic, to be further subdivided by 5,000 BCE into Proto-Indo-European, Proto-Uralic and Proto-Altaic).", "According to some scholarly opinion the Kebaran is derived from the Levantine Upper Palaeolithic in which the microlithic component originated, although microlithic cultures were earlier found in Africa.", "Ouchtata retouch is also a characteristic of the Late Ahmarian Upper Palaeolithic culture of the Levant and may not indicate African influence.", "The following data is taken from Kaiser and Shevoroshkin (1988) and Bengtson (1998) and transcribed into the .", "The phonemes tabulated below are commonly reconstructed for the Proto-Nostratic language (Kaiser and Shevoroshkin 1988).", "Allan Bomhard (2008), who relies more heavily on Afroasiatic and Dravidian than on Uralic, as do members of the \"Moscow School\", reconstructs a different vowel system, with three pairs of vowels represented as: /a/~/ə/, /e/~/i/, /o/~/u/ , as well as independent /i/, /o/, and /u/.", "In the first three pairs of vowels, Bomhard is attempting to specify the subphonemic variation involved, inasmuch as that variation led to some of the vowel gradation (ablaut) and vowel harmony patterning found in various daughter languages.", "The reconstructed consonants of Nostratic are shown in the table below.", "Every distinction is supposed to be contrastive by the Nostraticists who reconstruct them.", "The following table is compiled from data given by Kaiser and Shevoroshkin (1988) and Starostin.", "They follow Illich-Svitych's correspondences in which Nostratic voiceless stops give (traditional) PIE voiced ones, and Nostratic glottalized stops give (traditional) PIE voiceless stops, in contradiction with the PIE glottalic theory, which makes traditional PIE voiced stops appeared like glottalized ones.", "To correct this anomaly, linguists such as Manaster Ramer and Bomhard have proposed to correlate Nostratic voiceless and glottalized stops with PIE ones, so this is done in the table.", "Because linguists working on Proto-Indo-European, Proto-Uralic, and Proto-Dravidian do not usually use the IPA, the transcriptions used in those fields are also given where the letters differ from the IPA symbols.", "The IPA symbols are between slashes because this is a phonemic transcription.", "The exact values of the phoneme \"*p1\" in Proto-Afroasiatic and Proto-Dravidian are unknown. \"∅", "∅\" indicates disappearance without a trace.", "Hyphens indicate different developments at the beginning and in the interior of words; no consonants ever occurred at the ends of word roots.", "(Starostin's list of affricate and fricative correspondences does not mention Afroasiatic or Dravidian, and Kaiser and Shevoroshkin don't mention these sounds much; hence the holes in the table.)", "Note that, due to lack of research, there are at present several different mutually incompatible reconstructions of Proto-Afroasiatic (see for two recent reconstructions).", "The one used here has been said to be based too strongly on Proto-Semitic (Yakubovich 1998).", "Similarly, the paper by Kaiser and Shevoroshkin is much older than the newest \"Altaic Etymological Dictionary\" (2003; see Altaic languages article) and therefore assumes a somewhat different phonological system for Proto-Altaic.", "Because grammar is less easily borrowed than words, grammar is usually considered stronger evidence for language relationships than vocabulary.", "The following correspondences (slightly modified to account for the reconstruction of Proto-Altaic by Starostin et al. 2003) have been suggested by Kaiser and Shevoroshkin (1988).", "/N/ could be any nasal consonant.", "/V/ could be any vowel.", "(The above cautionary notes on Afroasiatic and Dravidian apply.)", "The verb stood at the end of

"normal_sentence": [ "John Michael Wright (May 1617 – July 1694) was a portrait painter in the Baroque style.", "Described variously as English and Scottish, Wright trained in Edinburgh under the Scots painter George Jamesone, and acquired a considerable reputation as an artist and scholar during a long sojourn in Rome.", "There he was admitted to the Accademia di San Luca, and was associated with some of the leading artists of his generation.", "He was engaged by Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria, the governor of the Spanish Netherlands, to acquire artworks in Oliver Cromwell's England in 1655.", "He took up permanent residence in England from 1656, and served as court painter before and after the English Restoration.", "A convert to Roman Catholicism, he was a favourite of the restored Stuart court, a client of both Charles II and James II, and was a witness to many of the political maneuverings of the era.", "In the final years of the Stuart monarchy he returned to Rome as part of an embassy to Pope Innocent XI.", "Wright is currently rated as one of the leading indigenous British painters of his generation, largely for the distinctive realism in his portraiture.", "Perhaps due to the unusually cosmopolitan nature of his experience, he was favoured by patrons at the highest level of society in an age in which foreign artists were usually preferred.", "Wright's paintings of royalty and aristocracy are included amongst the collections of many leading galleries today.", "John Michael Wright, who at the height of his career would interchangeably sign himself \"\"Anglus\"\" or \"\"Scotus\"\", is of uncertain origin.", "The diarist John Evelyn called him a Scotsman, an epithet repeated by Horace Walpole and tentatively accepted by his later biographer, Verne.", "However, writing in 1700, the English antiquarian Thomas Hearne claims Wright was born in Shoe Lane, London and, after an adolescent conversion to Roman Catholicism, was taken to Scotland by a priest.", "A London birth certainly seems supported by a baptismal record, dated 25 May 1617, for a \"Mighell Wryghtt\", son of James Wright, described as a tailor and a citizen of London, in St Bride's Church, Fleet Street, London.", "What is known is that, on 6 April 1636, the 19-year-old Wright was apprenticed to George Jamesone, an Edinburgh portrait painter of some repute.", "The Edinburgh Register of Apprentices records him as \"Michaell, son to James W(right), tailor, citizen of London\".", "The reasons for this move to Scotland are unclear, but may have to do with familial connections (his parents may have been London Scots) or the advent of plague in London.", "During his apprenticeship, Wright is likely to have lodged at the High Street tenement near the Netherbow Gate that served as Jameson's workplace.", "The apprenticeship was contracted for five years, but may have been curtailed by Jameson's imprisonment in late 1639.", "There is no record of any independent work by Wright from this period (his earliest known painting being a small portrait of Robert Bruce, 1st Earl of Ailesbury, painted in the early 1640s during his time in Rome).", "It is also possible that Wright met his wife during his Scottish residency.", "Nothing is known of her, except from a statement of thirty years later which describes her as \"related to the most noble and distinguished families of Scotland.\"", "If this is accurate, it may explain how Wright was later able to find aristocratic patronage.", "All that is known for certain is that Wright had at least one child by her, a son, Thomas.", "There is evidence to suggest that Wright went to France following his apprenticeship, however his eventual destination was Italy.", "It is possible that he arrived in Rome as early as 1642 in the entourage of James Alban Gibbes (a scholar of English descent), but he was certainly resident there from 1647.", "Although details of his time there are sketchy, his skills and reputation increased so much so that by 1648 he had become a member of the prestigious Accademia di San Luca (where he is recorded as \"\"Michele Rita, pittore inglese\"\").", "At that time, the Accademia included numbers of established Italian painters as well as illustrious foreigners including the French Nicolas Poussin and Spaniard Diego Velázquez.", "On 10 February that year he was elected to the \"Congregazione dei Virtuosi al Pantheon\", a charitable body promoting the Roman Catholic faith through art, which hosted an annual exhibition in the Pantheon.", "Wright was to spend more than ten years in Rome.", "During that time became an accomplished linguist as well as an established art connoisseur.", "He also became prosperous enough to build up a substantial collection of books, prints, paintings, gems and medals, including works attributed to Mantegna, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian and Correggio.", "He acquired some forty paintings – perhaps as much through dealing as collecting.", "Richard Symonds, the amateur painter and royalist, catalogued Wright's collection in the early 1650s (and designated him as \"Scotus\").", "In 1654, after a decade in Rome, Wright travelled to Brussels where his abilities were recognised by Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria then governor of the Spanish Netherlands.", "Leopold employed him not as an artist, but as an advisor on antiquities.", "As the younger brother of the Emperor Ferdinand III and cousin of Philip IV of Spain, the Archduke had the wherewithal to amass a large collection of paintings and antiquities.", "Moreover, in the spring of 1655, the Archduke was enjoying a period of cordial relations with Oliver Cromwell, then Lord Protector of England.", "(Indeed, the two had been exchanging gifts of horses, and Leopold had provided Cromwell with choice tapestries and other artefacts for the refurbishment of the Palace of Whitehall.", "Cromwell also received an embassy from the Habsburgs congratulating him on his new office.)", "Since the execution of Charles I in 1649, Leopold had been purchasing artworks from the royal collections and those of various aristocrats, and, against this background, commissioned Wright to travel to London and acquire further specimens.", "A passport was issued to him as \"'Juan Miguel Rita, pintor Ingles, qua va a Inglaterra a procurar pinturas, medalas, antiguedades, y otras costa señaladas, que le hemosencargado...\" to allow him to travel to England.", "The passport is dated 22 May 1655, and signed by the Archduke at Brussels, indicating that Wright had left Italy for Flanders by this time.", "(The addition of the saint's name name, John, probably marks his conversion to Roman Catholicism at some time prior.)", "As one on an official mission, Wright would probably have offered greetings to Leopold's ambassador extraordinary in London, the Marqués de Lede, and to Alonso de Cárdenas, the regular Habsburg ambassador, who had also been engaged since 1649 in art procurement for the Spanish Monarch.", "The lack of records means that the timing and duration of this visit remain uncertain.", "However, de Lede left in late June, and de Cárdenas a few weeks later – as relations between Cromwell and the Habsburgs deteriorated – so Wright probably arrived back in Flanders, with any acquisitions he had made, just in time to learn of the Archduke's impending departure – and that of his huge art collection – from Brussels in the autumn of 1655.", "However, after the relocation of his patron to Vienna, Wright again visited London.", "Whatever his intentions, Wright did not return to Italy, rather he was joined in England by his family soon after.", "Despite his Roman Catholicism and the strong Protestantism of the Protectorate (1653–1659), Wright seems to have been able to find prestigious work.", "Indeed, Waterhouse speaks of him engaging in \"the most deliberate and unblushing toadying to Cromwell\" in his 1658 painting of a small posthumous portrait of Elizabeth Claypole, Oliver Cromwell's daughter (now in the National Portrait Gallery).", "This is an allegorical portrait depicting Elizabeth as Minerva, leaning on a carved relief representing the goddess springing from the head of Jove with the motto \"\"Ab Jove Principium\"\" – an allusion to Cromwell himself, whose cameo portrait she holds.", "Seemingly, he was also willing to work the other side of the political divide: in 1659 he painted Colonel John Russell who was a player in the \"Sealed Knot\" conspiracy to restore Charles II to the throne.", "That particular portrait is regarded by at least one critic as Wright's \"masterpiece\".", "After the restoration of Charles II in 1660, Wright's Roman Catholicism became less of a handicap, due to the King's preference for religious toleration.", "Never a good businessman, Wright encountered some financial difficulties and King Charles granted him the privilege of disposing of his collection of Old Masters by means of a lottery.", "The King himself acquired 14 of the paintings.", "By the early 1660s Wright had established a successful studio in London, and was described by diarist John Evelyn as \"the famous painter Mr Write\".", "Later, the Great Plague of London (1665) drove Wright out to countryside, where he painted at least three members of the Catholic family of Arundell of Wardour.", "Ironically, in the next year, the Great Fire of London (1666) was to be of benefit to him, when he received one of the City of London's first new artistic commissions to paint twenty-two full length portraits of the so-called 'Fire Judges' (those appointed to assess the property disputes arising from the fire).", "These paintings, completed in 1670, hung in London's Guildhall until it was bombed during World War II; today only two (those of Sir Matthew Hale and Sir Hugh Wyndham) remain in the Guildhall Art Gallery the remainder having been destroyed or dispersed.", "Charles II, who promoted a number of Roman Catholics at court, granted Wright a measure of royal art patronage.", "In 1661, soon after the coronation, he painted a formalised portrait of the monarch, seated in front of a tapestry representing the Judgement of Solomon, wearing St. Edward's Crown, the robes of the Garter, and carrying the orb and sceptre.", "Wright was also commissioned to paint an allegorical ceiling for the King's bedchamber at Whitehall Palace, and he was further appointed in 1673 to the office of \"picture drawer in ordinary\", allowing him to exercise his right to sign his pictures \"Pictor Regis\".", "However, to his disappointment, he did not receive the coveted office of \"King's Painter\", which was held in the 1660s by Sir Peter Lely alone.", "In contrast to Wright's sympathetic realism, and carefully observed landscape backgrounds, Lely had a more glamorous style, favoured by the court, and based on Van Dyck's pre-Civil War style.", "This prompted the diarist Samuel Pepys to remark, after an enjoyable visit to Lely's studio, \"thence to Wright's the painters: but Lord, the difference that is between their two works\".", "Unlike Lely, who was knighted, Wright never received significant recognition from King Charles.", "However, at least one admirer thought he did deserve it.", "In 1669, Wright and the miniaturist Samuel Cooper had met Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany.", "Cosimo later called at Wright's studio where he commissioned a portrait of the Duke of Albemarle from Wright.", "On 3 March 1673, perhaps some time after Wright had painted his state picture of Charles II (now in the Royal Collection), a strange letter was sent from an obscure \"Mairie Lady Hermistan\" (evidently a fellow Roman Catholic) to Cosimo, asking him to intercede with the King to grant Wright a baronetcy.", "However, nothing came of the request.", "As antipathy towards Catholics intensified in London from the late 1670s, Wright spent more time working away from court.", "He painted six family portraits for Sir Walter Bagot of Blithfield in Staffordshire in 1676/7.", "In 1678, he removed to Dublin for a number of years, perhaps due to the anti-Catholic hysteria generated by Titus Oates's Popish Plot.", "Here, still styling himself \"\"Pictor Regis\"\", he painted \"The Ladies Catherine and Charlotte Talbot\", which is today in the National Gallery of Ireland.", "He also painted two full-lengths portraits of costumed chieftains, the \"Sir Neil O'Neill\" (c. 1680), now in the Tate Collection, and the \"Lord Mungo Murray\" (c.1683), now in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.", "Sir Neil O'Neill was a fellow Roman Catholic, also in exile in Dublin.", "Wright portrayed him in the dress costume of an Irish chieftain, with suit of rare Japanese armour at his feet.", "The significance of this armour is that it is thought to be a coded symbol of a triumph over the persecutors of Roman Catholicism, of whom, at that time, the Japanese were notorious.", "The portrait of Mungo Murray (the 5th son of the Royalist Marquis of Atholl) is notable for being considered one of the first instance of Scottish tartan being portrayed in art.", "In 1685, when the openly Roman Catholic James II ascended the throne, Wright was able to return to royal service.", "However, significantly, James did not employ Wright as an artist, but gave him the \"time consuming and futile post\" of steward on a diplomatic embassy.", "He was appointed as steward to Roger Palmer, 1st Earl of Castlemaine husband of Barbara Villiers, the late King's mistress.", "Wright's knowledge of Rome and of the Italian language may have played a part in this, as Castlemaine was dispatched, in 1686, on an embassy to Pope Innocent XI to demonstrate that England could become a player on the Roman Catholic side in impending European conflicts.", "Wright's role in the embassy was to oversee the production of elaborate coaches, costumes and decorations for the procession, which secured a papal audience in January 1687.", "He also arranged a stupendous banquet for a thousand guests in the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, complete with sugar sculptures and a large state portrait of James II.", "While in Rome, Wright published an illustrated Italian account of the embassy, dedicated to the Duchess of Modena and, on his return, an English version was published in October 1687, dedicated to her daughter Queen Mary.", "Wright's career came to an end in 1688 with the expulsion of King James II during the Glorious Revolution.", "He seems to have accepted the inevitable end of his royal favour with the accession to the throne of the Protestant William of Orange.", "He lived on, in relative poverty, for a further six years until 1694.", "In March of that year, he made a will leaving his house in St Paul's parish to his niece Katherine Vaux.", "His collection of drawings, prints and books were left to his nephew, the painter Michael Wright; however a codicil to the will stated that the books were to be sold on behalf of his son Thomas, who was then abroad.", "The books were auctioned on 4 June and on 1 August 1694, John Michael Wright was buried at St Martin-in-the-Fields.", "Much of the scholarly appreciation of Wright's work is fairly recent.", "In 1982, an exhibition of his work: ‘John Michael Wright – The King’s Painter’ – in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery – led to a renewed interest in his contributions, and the catalogue (edited by Sara Stevenson and Duncan Thomson) re-wrote and uncovered much of the known biographical details.", "New works continue to be discovered and previously known ones re-attributed to him.", "Wright is now viewed as amongst the most successful of seventeenth-century Britain's indigenous artists, and is rated alongside contemporaries such as Robert Walker and William Dobson.", "One modern exhibition catalogue described him as \"the finest seventeenth century British-born painter\".", "Certainly, he was one of the few who painted the elite aristocracy of his day, and was responsible for some of the most magnificent royal portraiture surviving.", "This achievement is particularly significant in an age where even British patrons had tended to favour foreign artists like Holbein and Van Dyck, and would continue to favour immigrants such as Lely and Kneller.", "Indeed, part of the reason for Wright's success is recognised as being his unusually cosmopolitan training: no prior British artist had so much exposure to European influence.", "During his Italian sojourn, and his participation in the Accademia di San Luca, not only had Wright collected works attributed to continental giants like Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian, he had also been influenced by, and even copied, much of their tone and style.", "In his field and day, Wright was certainly eclipsed by his rival the more prolific Lely, to whom he is often compared.", "One critic, Millar, observes that any comparisons undertaken would \"ruthlessly expose Wright's weaknesses and mannerisms\" but that positively \"they would also demonstrate his remarkable independence, his unfailing integrity and charm, the sources of which must partly lie in his unusual origins, fragmented career and attractive personality\".", "Millar suggests that a particularly useful comparison can be made between Lely and Wright's respective portrayals of the Duchess of Clevland (Barbara Villiers) \"(above)\".", "Whereas Lely portrayed her as a \"full-blown and palpably desirable strumpet\", the more seriously minded Wright, who was not really in sympathy with the morality of the new court and its courtesans, rendered a more puppet-like figure.", "However, even if Lely was considered the more masterly and fashionable of the two in seventeenth-century Britain, Wright is generally accepted as portraying the more lively and realistic likenesses of his subjects, a fact that reinforces Pepys's observation that Lely's work was \"good but not like\".", "Neither should Wright's realism be confused with a prudishness; as can be seen, for example, in his portrait the lady, thought to be Ann Davis (right).", "The picture, with the sitter's clothing left undone and her modesty barely preserved by a red drape, has been described as exhibiting a fresh – even risky – reality: erotic by contemporary standards.", "Whereas Wright's contemporaries might have used the ‘disguise’ of presenting the sitter in the guise of a classical goddess to protect against accusation of salaciousness, Wright's portrait rather depends on his realism, notably in his flesh tones, and depth." ] } }

under the control of Connex, 19 units were modified to operate inner suburban South London \"Metro\" services.", "The work involved removal of internal compartments and declassification of 1st class seating.", "The units were reclassified as Class 423/9 (or 4 VOP) and renumbered in the range 3901-3919.", "Due to the lack of first class seating and toilets, these units were generally not used on long-distance services.", "In 2003, with the general run-down of slam door trains, it was decided to reform some of the 4Vop units by swapping one driving trailer with that from a standard unit.",

easier.", "But in the event only eight units were reformed, namely nos. 3813/14/21/22/41-44.", "By 2004 Southern had started to introduce Class 377 \"Electrostar\" units into service.", "Although first introduced in 2002, this did not initially affect the Class 423 as the older 'Phase 1' Class 421 units were withdrawn first, due to their age and lower seating capacity.", "However, as more new units entered traffic, the first Class 423 units were withdrawn.", "Units selected for withdrawal were usually those with high mileage or in poor condition.", "By mid-2005 only a handful of units remained in traffic.", "The final diagrammed passenger service out of London was the 17:17 London Victoria to Eastbourne and Seaford on 19 August 2005, formed of units 3486 and 3535, plus 4Cig 1866.",

on Southern, when units 3490, 3505 and 3535 formed the 09:19 Brighton to London Victoria and 11:06 London Victoria to Brighton services (via Lewes due to engineering works); this being the last scheduled mainline passenger service using southern-electric slam-door stock (the very last passenger being an off-duty HM Inspector of Railways).", "Following this trip the stock was withdrawn from service and initially put into Lover's Walk depot before being moved (under its own power) to Battersea Stewart's Lane Depot (road 12) from where it was hauled away at 12:26hrs on 3rd January 2006 by a class 47 locomotive for scrapping.", "One complete 4 VIP unit has been preserved, and two 4 VOP units remained in departmental use until March 2013.", "South West Trains (SWT) inherited the second-largest number of units, with an initial fleet size of 62 units.", "The entire fleet was composed of standard Class 423/1 units.", "Later, a further four units (nos. 3809-3812) were transferred from Connex South Eastern.", "These were also standard units, but were numbered in the 38xx series to denote they were leased from Porterbrook rather than HSBC Rail.", "SWT quickly repainted its fleet of units into a new livery, based on the previous Network SouthEast (NSE) livery, but with the addition of an orange stripe and the absence of the grey band.", "All but four units (3415 and 3809-3811) were repainted.", "These four units were deliberately retained in NSE livery, meaning that in the final days of slam-door trains they attained \"celebrity\" status among rail enthusiasts.", "In 2001 SWT placed an order for 785 new carriages with Siemens AG to allow it to replace its fleet of slam-door trains.", "To assist Siemens in the design of third rail units, 4Vep no. 3810 was transferred to a test site in Germany to undergo tests.", "Following its return to Britain it became popularly known as the \"Great Escape\".", "South West Trains started to replace its slam-door fleet from early 2004, with the introduction of the first Class 444 and Class 450 Desiro units.", "Around this time SWT repainted one unit, no. 3417, into its original BR Blue livery to commemorate the final months in traffic of the slam-door fleet.", "This unit was chosen because it was one of the last to receive major works attention, and therefore had the longest life-expectancy.", "It was named Gordon Pettitt after a former manager of the Southern Region of British Railways.", "In the final months of traffic several units, including the first-built, no. 3401, were reformed in order to allow the vehicles in the best condition to be retained in service.", "Withdrawals of units picked up pace, with several large culls of units, the last of which occurred in March 2005.", "Beyond this date only a handful of units remained in traffic, namely nos. 3401/17/81 3516/20/36/76 and 3811.", "The final normal passenger service was operated on 26 May 2005 from London Waterloo to Bournemouth, using 4 VEP 3536 sandwiched between 4 CIG units 1396 and 1398.", "Following withdrawal most units were rapidly towed away for scrap.", "The \"celebrity\" blue unit, no. 3417, has been since been sold to the Bluebell Railway.", "Following withdrawal from normal service, several vehicles have seen further use in departmental service.", "So far two complete units (highlighted in table below) and two individual driving trailers have been preserved.", "In addition the former 4TC driving vehicle from set 3582 has been preserved.", "The more high-profile unit preserved is the former South West Trains (SWT) \"celebrity\" unit painted in BR blue livery with painted aluminium window frames, number 3417.", "The unit was initially used on Wimbledon depot as a shunter, but with SWT needing to get it off its books it was sold to the Bluebell Railway for the nominal sum of £1.", "It was moved to Eastleigh Works for storage, after having been used initially as the centrepiece for the Bluebell in a ceremony at East Grinstead railway station to mark the commencement of work at the station site as part of the line's work on the northern extension.", "The unit returned to East Grinstead for further use and storage in September 2010.", "In late April, the unit sustained minor damage to its shoegear as it was being driven from sidings at Clapham Junction Yard print to movement under tow to the Swanage Railway.", "This resulted in the traction current being discharged in the yard whilst repairs were carried out.", "The unit was then moved back into the sidings and then dragged to Swanage the following day.", "The unit was for some time stabled in the open at Clapham Junction, having previously been stored in the shed at the yard.", "The unit was then moved to Ilford as part of a deal brokered by the unit's support group for a full repaint.", "After the completion of this body work restoration, the unit was transferred to Strawberry Hill in South West London where it remains, undergoing long-term restoration by volunteers from the Southern Electric Traction Group.", "The second set, 3905 was turned into a tractor unit before being used as spares by the 5 BEL Trust to restore a 5-Bel Set, It was donated for preservation and was stored at the Dartmoor Railway.", "In 2016 the termination of lease by Dartmoor Railway meant the unit would leave the railway and find a new home at The East Kent Railway in Sheperdswell.", "One other set was briefly preserved until 2010 when it was scrapped, 3822, was located at the Churnet Valley Railway and was partially restored.", "In 2008 half of the set was returned to as-built BR Blue and received internal repairs.", "The other half remained in \"as withdrawn\" Connex condition, and the set operated at several special events throughout that year.", "There was an attempt to preserve unit 3810 (the unit that was briefly exported to Germany), but this failed and the unit was scrapped.", "Facelifted units Hornby produce the 4 VEP model in OO gauge.", "The model represents the main 2 variations; 1) Original units with the full brake area in the MBS, and; 2) Refurbished units (as undertaken from 1988 onwards) with a reduced brake compartment replaced with extra seating bays." ] } }

Myanmar and Thailand as well as in Sri Lanka and Chinese populations of Malaysia and Singapore for religious or official occasions.", "While the calendars share a common lineage, they also have minor but important variations such as intercalation schedules, month names and numbering, use of cycles, etc.", "In Thailand, the name Buddhist Era is a year numbering system shared by the traditional Thai lunisolar calendar and by the Thai solar calendar.", "The Southeast Asian lunisolar calendars are largely based on an older version of the Hindu calendar, which uses the sidereal year as the solar year.", "One major difference is that the Southeast Asian systems, unlike their Indian cousins, do not use apparent reckoning to stay in sync with the sidereal year.", "Instead, they employ their versions of the Metonic cycle.", "However, since the Metonic cycle is not very accurate for sidereal years, the Southeast Asian calendar is slowly drifting out of sync with the sidereal, approximately one day every 100 years.", "Yet no coordinated structural reforms of the lunisolar calendar have been undertaken.", "Today, the traditional Buddhist lunisolar calendar is used mainly for Theravada Buddhist festivals, and no longer has the official calendar status anywhere.", "The Thai Buddhist Era, a renumbered Gregorian calendar, is the official calendar in Thailand.", "The calculation methodology of the current versions of Southeast Asian Buddhist calendars is largely based on that of the Burmese calendar, which was in use in various Southeast Asian kingdoms down to the 19th century under the names of Chula Sakarat and Jolak Sakaraj.", "The Burmese calendar in turn was based on the \"original\" \"Surya Siddhanta\" system of ancient India (believed to be Ardharatrika school).", "One key difference with Indian systems is that the Burmese system has followed a variation of the Metonic cycle.", "It is unclear from where, when or how the Metonic system was introduced; hypotheses range from China to Europe.", "The Burmese system, and indeed the Southeast Asian systems, thus use a \"strange\" combination of sidereal years from Indian calendar in combination with the Metonic cycle better for tropical years.", "In all Theravada traditions, the calendar's epochal year 0 date was the day in which the Buddha attained \"parinibbāna\".", "However, not all traditions agree on when it actually took place.", "In Burmese Buddhist tradition, it was 13 May 544 BCE (Tuesday, Full moon of Kason 148 Anjanasakaraj).", "But in Thailand, it was 11 March 545 BCE, the date which the current Thai lunisolar and solar calendars use as the epochal date.", "Yet, the Thai calendars for some reason have fixed the difference between their Buddhist Era (BE) numbering and the Christian/Common Era (CE) numbering at 543, which points to an epochal year of 544 BCE, not 545 BCE.", "In Myanmar, the difference between BE and CE can be 543 or 544 for CE dates, and 544 or 543 for BCE dates, depending on the month of the Buddhist Era (as the Buddhist calendar straddles the Gregorian calendar—currently from April to April).", "In Sri Lanka, the difference between BE and CE is 544.", "The calendar recognizes two types of months: synodic month and sidereal month.", "The Synodic months are used to compose the years while the 27 lunar sidereal days (Sanskrit: \"nakshatra\"), alongside the 12 signs of the zodiac, are used for astrological calculations.", "(The Burmese calendar also recognizes a solar month called \"Thuriya Matha\", which is defined as 1/12th of a year.", "But the solar month varies by the type of year such as tropical year, sidereal year, etc.)", "The days of the month are counted in two halves, waxing and waning.", "The 15th of the waxing is the civil full moon day.", "The civil new moon day is the last day of the month (14th or 15th waning).", "Because of the inaccuracy of the calendrical calculation systems, the mean and real (true) New Moons rarely coincide.", "The mean New Moon often precedes the real New Moon.", "As the Synodic lunar month is approximately 29.5 days, the calendar uses alternating months of 29 and 30 days.", "Various regional versions of Chula Sakarat/Burmese calendar existed across various regions of mainland Southeast Asia.", "Unlike Burmese systems, Kengtung, Lan Na, Lan Xang and Sukhothai systems refer to the months by numbers, not by names.", "This means reading ancient texts and inscriptions in Thailand requires constant vigilance, not just in making sure one is correctly operating for the correct region, but also for variations within regions itself when incursions cause a variation in practice.", "However, Cambodian (Khmer) month system, which begins with Margasirsa as the first month, demonstrated precisely by the names and numbers.", "The Buddhist calendar is a lunisolar calendar in which the months are based on lunar months and years are based on solar years.", "One of its primary objectives is to synchronize the lunar part with the solar part.", "The lunar months, normally twelve of them, consist alternately of 29 days and 30 days, such that a normal lunar year will contain 354 days, as opposed to the solar year of ~365.25 days.", "Therefore, some form of addition to the lunar year (of intercalation) is necessary.", "The overall basis for it is provided by cycles of 57 years.", "Eleven extra days are inserted in every 57 years, and seven extra months of 30 days are inserted in every 19 years (21 months in 57 years).", "This provides 20819 complete days to both calendars.", "This 57-year cycle would provide a mean year of about 365.2456 days and a mean month of about 29.530496 days, if not corrected.", "As such, the calendar adds an intercalary month in leap years and sometimes also an intercalary day in great leap years.", "The intercalary month not only corrects the length of the year but also corrects the accumulating error of the month to extent of half a day.", "The average length of the month is further corrected by adding a day to Nayon at irregular intervals—a little more than seven times in two cycles (39 years).", "The intercalary day is never inserted except in a year which has an intercalary month.", "The Hindu calendar inserts an intercalary month at any time of year as soon as the accumulated fractions amount to one month.", "The Burmese calendar however always inserts the intercalary month at the same time of the year, after the summer solstice while the Arakanese calendar inserts it after the vernal equinox.", "The actual Burmese calendar year consists of 354, 384 or 385 days.", "Note: The Arakanese calendar adds the intercalary day in Tagu, not in Nayon.", "The Cambodian, Lao and Thai lunar calendars use a slightly different method to place the intercalary day.", "Instead of it in a leap year as in the Burmese system, the Thai system places it in a separate year.", "Thus, the Thai small leap year has 355 days while the Thai great leap year has 384 days.", "Since the main purpose of Buddhist calendar is to keep pace with the solar year, the new year is always marked by the solar year, which falls at the time when the Sun enters Aries.", "The date, which at the present falls on the 17th of April, has slowly drifted over the centuries.", "In the 20th century, the New Year's Day fell on April 15 or 16th but in the 17th century, it fell on April 9 or 10th.", "Thailand and Cambodia no longer use the traditional lunisolar calendar to mark the New Year's Day.", "Cambodian and Thai systems give animal names to the years from a cycle of 12.", "The practice also existed in Burma in the Pagan period but later died out.", "In Cambodia, there is the sequence of year, which numbered from one to ten, used to identify a particular year, called \"Sak\" (Khmer: ស័ក) that means \"era\".", "It begins with a prefix \"Aek, tor or trei\", which means one, two or three respectively (using numerals that were derived from the Sanskrit language) then the suffix \"Sak\" is added to each prefix so as to form a word of the year.", "Cambodian use the Sak system to differentiate the twelve animal years that return every twelve year by including the ten-year system along with the animal year system.", "For instance, in 2017, the ten-year and animal year fall in the year of Rooster, Nuppasak (era 9), Buddhist Era of 2561 (based on Cambodian lunar calendar).", "The Southeast Asian Buddhist calendars use lunar months but try to keep pace with the solar year, by inserting intercalary months and days on the Metonic cycle (in the case of the Burmese calendar, on a modified Metonic cycle).", "However, the solar year as defined by the Buddhist calendars is really a sidereal year, which is nearly 24 minutes longer than the actual mean tropical year.", "Therefore, like all sidereal-based calendars, the lunisolar calendars are slowly drifting away from the seasons.", "The calendars are drifting one day approximately every 60 years and 4 months.", "The accumulating drift against the seasons means the New Year's Day which used to fall on 22 March (near the vernal equinox) in 638 CE now falls on 17 April in 2013 CE.", "There is no known internationally concerted effort to stop this drift.", "Thailand has moved its \"Buddhist Era\" to the Gregorian calendar under the name of Thai solar calendar.", "In Myanmar, Burmese calendarists have tried to deal with the issue by periodically modifying the intercalation schedule in the Metonic cycle.", "One major downside of this approach is that it is not possible to publish future calendars more than a few years (often even a year) ahead.", "The Buddhist Era was first introduced to Southeast Asia along with Buddhism in the early centuries CE.", "It was not a separate calendar but simply a year numbering system that employed the organization and calculation methods of the prevailing lunisolar calendars in use throughout the region.", "In the early centuries CE, the reference civil calendar of the Buddhist calendar prevalent in Southeast Asia was the Saka Era (Mahāsakaraj Era), which is said to have been adopted by the Pyu state of Sri Ksetra in 80 CE.", "The Saka Era was gradually replaced by the Burmese Era or Culāsakaraj, first in Myanmar in 640 CE, and in other Theravada kingdoms of Southeast Asia between the 13th and 16th centuries.", "Theravada Buddhist tradition also recognizes pre-Buddhist Anjana Sakaraj (Añjana's Era) since the events of the Buddha's life are recorded in that era.", "The tradition of using different reference calendars continued in Siam in 1912 when King Vajiravudh decreed that the Buddhist Era would now track the Thai solar calendar, the Siamese version of the Gregorian calendar with the New Year's Day of 1 April.", "Therefore, the Thai Buddhist Era year of 2455 began on 1 April 1912 (as opposed to 15 April 1912 according to the lunisolar calendar).", "The Thai Buddhist Era was further realigned to the Gregorian calendar on 6 September 1940 when Prime Minister Phibunsongkhram decreed 1 January 1941 as the start of the year 2484 BE.", "As a result, the Year 2483 was only 9 months long, and the Thai Buddhist Era equals that of the Common Era plus 543 years.", "The lunisolar calendar is used to mark important Buddhist holidays.", "Many of the holidays are celebrated as public holidays.", "Since the release of Java 8, the Buddhist calendar is supported in the new Date and Time API.", "iOS has support to display Buddhist calendar years." ] } }

compensator, which is a variable volume buoyancy bag which is inflated to increase buoyancy and deflated to decrease buoyancy.", "The desired condition is usually neutral buoyancy when the diver is swimming in mid-water, and this condition is unstable, so the diver is constantly making fine adjustments by control of lung volume, and has to adjust the contents of the buoyancy compensator if the depth varies.", "If the weight of an object is less than the weight of the displaced fluid when fully submerged, then the object has an average density that is less than the fluid and when fully submerged will experience a buoyancy force greater than its own weight.", "If the fluid has a surface, such as water in a lake or the sea, the object will float and settle at a level where it displaces the same weight of fluid as the weight of the object.", "If the object is immersed in the fluid, such as a submerged submarine or air in a balloon, it will tend to rise.", "If the object has exactly the same density as the fluid, then its buoyancy equals its weight.", "It will remain submerged in the fluid, but it will neither sink nor float, although a disturbance in either direction will cause it to drift away from its position.", "An object with a higher average density than the fluid will never experience more buoyancy than weight and it will sink.", "A ship will float even though it may be made of steel (which is much denser than water), because it encloses a volume of air (which is much less dense than water), and the resulting shape has an average density less than that of the water." ] } }
